Access and Logging In
Important Note: Anyone in an investigator’s lab can have access to Bioware.  This does not mean that because you have access to Bioware you will have access to handling/working with animals.  Handling/working with animals is separate from Bioware and requires IACUC approval.
 
Q: If I have additional staff that needs access into Animal Bioware, what do I need to do to grant them access?
A: Email your request to arpbioware@uab.edu requesting access and provide the following information:
  • Full name and blazer id (e.g. Tim Crutchfield/timman)
  • Your dept/division (e.g. Animal Resources)
  • The investigator names and protocols (APN’s) for which
    you need access
  • Your role in using the protocol (billing contact, animal
    ordering contact or lab contact). Please note there can be only one billing contact per investigator.  
  • 24 hour emergency contact information for the investigator and main lab contact(s).
  • Optional: any additional contact information (phone, fax,
    building, room, manager/supervisor) that you wish to add to contact information in Bioware.

Q: How long does it take from the time I email or fax to process the access form so that I can access Animal Bioware?
A: Under normal circumstances, please allow 24-48 hours from the time the form was sent to process the request.  If it is urgent, please contact timman@uab.edu or call 4-4211 to rush the request.  The requestor and the investigator will receive an email indicating that access has been granted along with your user name and password.
