Institutional BioSafety Committee, Forms and Instructions
To ensure compliance with the National Institutes of Health Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules, the HHRI has established an Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC).
The purpose of this committee is to ensure that research at the HHRI is in compliance with NIH policies that provide for safe experimental conduct.
The IBC will be responsible for oversight of research or teaching activities involving infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, protozoans, fungi, etc.), recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules (DNA, etc.), and biological toxins (endotoxins, enterotoxins, venoms, etc.).
HHRI researchers using these potentially biohazardous reagents must register their work with the IBC by submitting an application for committee review and approval. Please submit all applications and questions to pthor@hhrinstitute.org. The IBC meets as needed to review submitted projects.
