New?
Online Biosafety Training has been developed in a
Web format for all EVMS researchers. As of January 1, 2001, the Institutional Biosafety Committee has mandated that all EVMS research faculty and staff involved with biohazardous material in their laboratory must complete the online Biosafety Training and be
certified. |
Institutional Biosafety Committee
The Institutional Biosafety Committee’s (IBC) primary charge is to review and provide oversight of research projects that utilize culture of human
or other pathogens, laboratory-induced infection, human tissue culture, primary tissue, or procedures involving recombinant DNA. Proposals for these studies are submitted to the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), through the Office of Research, for review and approval. Additional information regarding submission of protocols to the IBC or Initial and Annual Review Forms may be obtained from the Office of Research or the EVMS intranet,
Initial and Annual Review Forms.The Biosafety Manual has a list of the Biosafety Level Classification for many of the common biohazardous materials found in a laboratory setting. A copy of the Biosafety Manual may be obtained from the Office of Research.
Training
The training required by the Institutional Biosafety Committee prior to working in a laboratory setting is the
online
Biosafety Training and
annual
Bloodborne
Pathogen Training.
Meeting Dates
The Institutional Biosafety Committee meets the second
Monday of each month at 1:30 p.m. For
the location of the meeting, contact the Office of Research. The deadline dates for submission of a protocol (Initial or Annual Review) and the meeting dates are listed on the
