1. What is this limited business model and what does it mean for the IACUC office? (March 18, 2020 at 11:30 AM)
The limited business model is basically a work from home model for the IACUC office and staff. Because the IACUC office has, for many years, allowed staff to work from home, we are positioned to make this transition with minimum disruptions to our processes while continuing to providing good customer service.
