New Policy Designates ARCH as Official System of Record for Animal Research Data
The Research and Innovation Office has issued a new institutional policy designating the Animal Research Care Hub (ARCH) as the University’s authoritative electronic record system for all non-client vertebrate animal health, husbandry, and census data under approved IACUC protocols.
Interactive ARCH Working Sessions and User Feedback
Throughout October, the ARCH team is hosting hands-on interactive working sessions and cross-functional roundtables to help research labs navigate complex workflows, test hardware, and provide direct feedback ahead of the system launch.
Revised ARCH Go-Live Date
To ensure user readiness across the research community, the ARCH go-live date has been adjusted to February 10, 2027, allowing for an extended user engagement and readiness phase focused on training, hands-on simulations, and workflow support.
