Writing an Application
Please consult the guidelines when writing a new application. Applications must be written and printed using 'TierBase'.
For assistance, please consult the following instructions:
Types of Applications
An application may be classifed as:
- New Scientific Application
- New Breeding Application
- Transfer of a GBNML to an SABC
New Scientific Applications
All new applications should be submitted by the monthly submission closing date:
Please ensure the following standard templates are used when writing a new application:
The following hard copies are required:
|

** These will need to be attached to your TierBase application. Researchers who do not include these attachments will be asked to include them as a condition of approval, resulting in a potential delay to the research.
NB – Incomplete applications cannot be accepted and will be returned to the research team.
Please ensure all signatures are included, most importantly:
- the Principal Investigator (on the TierBase application form),
- the Head of Department (Module A)
- the Head of the Supporting Department – the BRC or EMSU (Module A).
New Breeding Application (GBNML)
All new breeding applications (Generate and Breed a New Mouse Line, GBNML) should be submitted by the submission closing date.
Please ensure the correct symbols are used by consulting the Mutation Type / Gene Symbol List
Please ensure the following standard templates are used when writing a new breeding application:

Transferring a GBNML to an SABC (Specified Animal Breeding Colony)
All transfers of a GBNML to an SABC should be submitted by the submission closing date:
A “Specified Animal” includes guinea pigs, rats, mice or rabbits (other than a rat, mouse or rabbit bred in the wild) and non-human primates. “Specified animals” held for stock maintenance and/or routine breeding (i.e. they are no longer being bred as part of a research project and the line is well phenotyped) should be transferred from a GBNML to an SABC. This transfer must be reviewed by the AEC.
