As the Submitting Investigator, you’ll start by reviewing the MMRRC’s Submission Terms & Conditions. If you agree, you will complete the Strain Submission Application and include any relevant publications or references about your mouse strain.

• Indicate whether your strain is pre-authorized for repositing in the MMRRC.
• If pre-authorized, provide the name of the authorizing institution.
• If not pre-authorized, indicate whether you have funding to support the MMRRC’s preservation and maintenance of your strain.
• If no funding is available, the Strain Submission Review Board will evaluate whether the strain has sufficient scientific value for acceptance.

You may request a Delayed Release until your research is published. Learn more in the Delayed Release section.

Once your application and references are received, they are scheduled for review by the MMRRC Coordinating Committee (CC), and occasionally the Advisory Panel (AP). At the monthly meeting, the CC discusses your application and decides whether to accept your strain. For detailed acceptance criteria, see the Review Criteria page.
