IBC Annual Review Changes

Copied!

On November 24, 2021, the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) evaluated the annual review process and voted to eliminate submitting a form annually. In its place, an email notice will be sent requesting an annual protocol self-assessment to be performed to help determine if a protocol amendment is needed or changes to the study team. A list of items to review will be provided in the instructions of the notice. This change is effective January 13, 2022.

A renewal protocol is still required to be submitted. These changes do not affect the 5-year renewal process for IBC protocols.
