Institutional
Biosafety Committee (IBC)
The OUHSC Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) has the charge of reviewing and approving
the biological safety
of all OUHSC and OU-Tulsa basic and clinical research activities involving recombinant DNA, gene transfer including transfer to humans, microorganisms, viruses, and biological toxins.
NEW: The NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules (NIH Guidelines) requires OUHSC to provide appropriate training for Principal Investigators (PIs) and laboratory staff regarding laboratory biosafety and implementation of the NIH Guidelines. Moreover, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) require training for persons working with infectious materials and toxins. IBC training is found at http://www.ouhsc.edu/ibc/training/default.asp.
Effective January 18, 2008, the IBC will require that all personnel identified on any submitted IBC protocol be current for biosafety training and will hold those IBC protocols until such time as the identified personnel become current. EHSO laboratory safety training that has already been completed to meet this requirement will be accepted, however, effective March 1, 2009, when training becomes due, the new IBC training must be completed instead.
