eSIRIUS

eSIRIUS is the program used at Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein) for submission, review and approval of protocols and amendments. The only person that may route protocols and amendments to the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) through eSIRIUS is the Principal Investigator (PI) of the protocol.
