GCRC Application Directions:

1. You must have MS Word 6.0 or higher or a program to read these files.

2. Use your mouse to select "GCRC Application", then save it in the appropriate folder for later use.

3. When you are ready to complete the GCRC application, open the file with Word and use your arrow key or tab key to move from line to line or box to box to complete the required information. When you "click" on some boxes or press the space bar to "choose" them, an "X" will appear when they are chosen; choosing them again removes the "X". 

4. We recommend you do not unprotect these forms as the results are unpredictable.

The GCRC Application form contains routing information for your protocol.  

Please email your GCRC application to mary-mcdermott@uiowa.edu     

For more information, call the GCRC Secretary at 384-8305.
