Please note that any user working with human/animal subjects must have an approved IRB/IACUC protocol letter. Review our user resources on this website for more information.

If you are NOT current faculty, staff or a student of the University of Florida, you must be approved as a UF-affiliate/volunteer before onsite access will be considered. This requires a clearly defined purpose of a your involvement, supervision, and record of activities.

Topics beyond those found on our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page are addressed throughout this website. Any additional questions concerning facility access should be directed to AMRIS Facility user program coordinator Amy Howe.

After ALL steps above are complete:
