Facilities UtilizationIn order to help us anticipate requirements for research space and facilities, please indicate below the approximate percentage of time during the period of your appointment that you expect to be physically present at the Laboratory (include time at the bench, in consultation, and in the Library.)
Much of the research at The Jackson Laboratory is based upon irreplaceable colonies of laboratory animals. Introduction of infectious diseases could have disastrous consequences not only for research at the Laboratory, but also for research programs elsewhere that depend upon our animals. Therefore, we requirequirere that all visitors observe the regulations summarized in thedocuments entitled “Visitor Regulations”, “Procedures for Bringing Equipment and Non-biological Research Materials to The Jackson Laboratory”, and “Policy on Importation of Animals & Biological Materials.”
Will your proposed research at The Jackson Laboratory involve the use of animals or animal tissues? Yes No
If you answered Yes, is your proposed research part of your Sponsor’s on-going research program and included in their approved animal protocol?Yes No
If No, complete the Animal Protocol Form (APF). If you have questions about completing the APF, please contact the ACUC Coordinator at (207) 288 6282.
Will you bring equipment to The Jackson Laboratory? Yes No

1. The Jackson Laboratory Employee Health Office will ask Visiting Investigators to complete a health/medical questionnaire if he/she will be at the Laboratory for longer than three (3) months. The reason for this is to be alerted to any potential occupational health risks for the individual. For example, a person that comes to The Jackson Laboratory with a history of allergies and/or asthma may have a potential possibility of exacerbation of allergy symptoms if mouse room work was going to be a part of the work or research to be done. After review of the completed form, the Manager of the Employee Health Office will call for information or clarification or to set up an appointment, if necessary, once the person is on campus.
2. If a Visiting Investigator or Guest requires accommodation for a medical problem or condition, it would be advisable to call the Employee Health Office in advance of arrival to The Jackson Laboratory.
For more information, please call the Manager of Employee Health Office at (207) 288-6096.
