Upload a BAW animal use return

Any animal ethics application that has been approved has annual reporting obligations. The researcher who is listed as the primary contact will receive an email advising them when they have an animal use return due.

The primary contact will download the required template from Themis, and then upload the file once it is completed.

To download the template:

1. Log on to Themis using your UOM research self service responsibility.
2. Select the 'animal ethics annual report workbench' function listed under the 'ethics' section. The 'AE annual report workbench' will display. The workbench is divided into two sections: 'AEC reports' and 'animal use returns'. The 'animal use returns' workbench will display the returns that are due for the current reporting year that you have not yet finalised.
3. Click on the animal use return file name link for the template you wish to download. You will be prompted to save the file. You should always use the template available on this workbench instead of one you have obtained from an alternative source (DEDJTR website, template saved from previous year, or obtained from a colleague) to ensure you are using the most up to date version.
4. Save the template using the naming convention: '[year] Return - [primary contact name] [SPPL number]'.
5. Open the template with Excel and complete the animal use details.

To submit your report:

1. Click the 'upload report' link on the 'animal use returns' workbench. The 'submit animal use return' screen will display.
2. Click 'browse' to locate your file, then click 'submit'. You may only upload your file once. If you need to upload a different file (if you uploaded the wrong file, or if you have made modifications), contact your AEC administrator.
