Newsletter
IBF University Heidelberg I/2023
Dear
IBF-users,
hopefully
you had a healthy and good start into the new year and 2023 started
successfully.
By
means of this newsletter we would like to inform you about
organizational news and animal welfare-relevant topics.
Restricted
access to our building
Recurring
and due to recent incident, it needs to be clear that the entrance
into the building is restrictive and it is strictly forbidden
to allow people to enter without respective permission. It is
forbidden to give access to people without authority to enter. Please
keep in mind to inform us about staff, who is no further working on
projects that we can inactivate such access cards. “Guests” need to
be announced in advance. This is relevant for animal welfare
compliance!
Use
of pentobarbital
Pentobarbital
is known as Narcoren by the registered trade name. During the last
year the instruction leaflet was changed in the way that the i.p.
application of Narcoren is only applicable after preceding sedation.
If in license protocols Narcoren is explicitly granted (not just
pentobarbital), Narcoren may be continued to be used. If not,
formulation Release 300mg/ml should be used. Here, a preceding sedation
is recommended. In case of doubt or questions, please get in contact
with Dr. Kristianna Becker: kristianna.becker@urz.uni-heidelberg.de
Application
form
Under
No. 2.3 always also tick “Aus-, Fort- und Weiterbildung” (basic and
advanced education and training). Under No. 3 please indicate the
following justification for this purpose: Since it is planned to
teach technical personnel and/or students in the specified
techniques, the category "Aus-, Fort- und Weiterbildung"
also applies. You may then list the following under No.4: As part of
this study, personnel and/or students will learn the methods relevant
to this project in order to be allowed to perform the activities
independently when required after applying for a special permit.
Background:
if, after approval for the special permit, subsequent staff
registrations are submitted with persons who are only allowed to work
under supervision, this must also be named as a purpose in the
application. If this is not yet designated in the application, the
changed purpose must be subsequently reported to the authority and
the NTP must be changed. This involves some bureaucratic effort,
which can be avoided by naming the purpose in advance under 2.3 and
the information under 3. and 4. in the application.
In
7. under 'databases used', please also always indicate Google
Scholar.
Personal
information form
Please
make sure that you fill in the personal data sheet correctly! Please
indicate your profession under 3.1: Please write designations like:
medicine, science, medical student etc.. Indications like PhD, Prof.
or Postdoc are no professional designations! If under 4. “Mitarbeiter
unter Aufsicht einer qualifizierten Person” (Employee under
supervision of a qualified person)' is ticked, then please do not
tick “Mitarbeiter führt Betäubungen durch” (Employee performs
anesthesia) as well.
Since
this refers to performing anesthesia without supervision, these two
items are mutually exclusive. Anesthesia under supervision is
indicated by “Mitarbeiter unter Aufsicht einer qualifizierten Person”
(Employee under supervision of a qualified person).
Adjustment
costs for animal housing
As
communicated last year, the DFG has adapted the rates for animal
housing.
As
decided by the rectorate, these rates will be the base for our
billing starting 01.01.23, which is applied to all faculties.
We
appreciate your understanding and support.
Stay
happy and healthy.
Best
wishes,
Sabine
Chourbaji
