Biosafety Committee

The National Institute of Health and Centers for Disease Control (NIH/CDC) require an institutional Biosafety Committee for any organization that receives federal funding to perform work with biohazardous agents or recombinant DNA molecules. The Committee must approve all work with these materials and provide oversight of the University Biosafety Officer.

The Committee meets several times throughout the year and reviews many protocols. Biosafety related forms, policies and guidance are approved by the Committee before distribution to the University Community.
