IBC Applications for Teaching Laboratories

Guidance for Teaching Applications

Course directors must apply for approval from the Institutional Biosafety Committee for all laboratory based teaching courses which involve recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules, infectious agents, or biological toxins. IBC teaching applications will be completed in the same manner as non-teaching applications but since students are not added as personnel on the application, special care should be taken to ensure they receive appropriate biosafety training and standard operating procedures for the lab work performed.
