Biosafety Forms

A new IBC Registration Application (docx) document combines and replaces the previous two recombinant DNA and infectious agent documents previously posted. Please note that we request that recombinant DNA work activities, even if exempt from full Biosafety committee review under NIH guidelines be registered. Granting agencies often request information on research review status from our office.

Changes in the NIH guidance and regulatory oversight, combined with the needs of the Committee to receive more information on increasingly complex protocols have led in part to development of this new document. You will note that more specific information is required in some cases. This is particularly true for vivo and transgenic studies.

Please note there is an additional Biosafety Level Category listed as BSL-2+. This indicates that the risk analysis of the work activity requires the physical containment and protocol requirements of BSL-2 containment with additional special practices requirements. For example, in the case of the use of a second generation Lentiviral vector used to deliver an oncogene. It would be prudent to carry out ALL work with this agent in a Biosafety Cabinet in a restricted area, accessible only by trained and appropriately garbed personnel. Click for biosafety level Information (pdf).

Please submit the completed form as an electronic copy (Word or PDF) as an e-mail attachment to the Biosafety Officer (Leonard Borzynski).

Your project will be approved for a three year period. If modifications of your submission ,including personnel changes or additional grant titles, are needed please notify the University Biosafety Officer via e-mail. 
 
Your continued support is deeply appreciated. Please do not hesitate to contact us if any clarification or assistance is needed.
