Lab Animal Management & Protocol System Project

Oversees the implementation of the LAMPS eProtocol and eAnimal Ordering modules


This page provides project-related updates to the implementation of LAMPS’s second module: eAnimal Ordering. See the LAMPS landing page to login to LAMPS.

eAnimal Ordering Module – (LARS Phase 2)

Animal procurement transitioned to LAMPS on July  6, 2021.

  • A new module of LAMPS is available to submit requisitions: eAnimal Ordering.
  • All personnel with edit access to a protocol in eProtocol can submit an animal requisition for that protocol. There is no access request form for eAnimal Ordering.
  • The completed requisition is submitted to the DCM Business Office for review and approval. It is then sent to Workday to be assigned a funding source by department staff.
  • eAnimal Ordering provides real-time access to remaining animal balances.

LARS Phase Overview

The Lab Animal Resource Software (LARS) project oversees the release the second module of LAMPS: eAnimal Ordering. LARS consists of three phases:

Phase 1 (Complete) – DCM transitions to eAnimal Ordering May 1, 2020

  • Barcoded cage cards placed in facilities
  • New split/wean log
  • DCM Procurement re-enters Marketplace orders in LAMPS

Phase 2 (Complete) – Researchers transition to eAnimal Ordering July 6, 2021

  • Animal procurement is initiated in LAMPS.
  • Researchers have access to animal numbers.

Phase 3 – Electronic census tracking Timeline TBD

  • Electronic census will streamline manual processes including transfer requests. Electronic census will be implemented building-by-building over the course of several months. The timeline for Phase 3 is under development.
