IBC
Initial IBC Review and Approval
To harmonize institutional review processes for research involving animals, recombinant DNA, biohazards, human gene transfer or animal gene transfer please use the following forms for protocol submission:
- Exempt Recombinant DNA (rDNA) Research: An Application for Recombinant DNA Exemption describing your current research is required. The Application for Recombinant DNA Exemption will act as your registration for exempt rDNA research. Exempt protocols will no longer require annual reviews.
- Non-exempt Recombinant DNA Research: An Application for Review of Recombinant DNA and/or Biohazards research along with corresponding appendices is required. Each approved protocol will require an Annual Review to update the status of the research. All non-exempt protocols will continue to require the submission of amendments to document changes in personnel, procedures, research location, agents / rDNA host vector systems, and/or changes in containment procedures.
- Recombinant DNA Research Involving Generation of Transgenic Rodents: An Application Rodent Gene Transfer describing the current research is required. This application covers experiments involving the generation of rodents in which the animal’s genome has been altered by stable introduction of recombinant DNA, or DNA derived therefrom, into the germ-line (transgenic rodents). Only experiments that require BSL1 containment are covered under by this application. Experiments that require BSL2 containment require an Application for Review of Recombinant DNA and/or Biohazards.
