Campus Biological Safety Program
Institutional biosafety committee (IBC)
The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) is responsible for reviewing all University research and teaching activities involving the use of biohazards, recombinant DNA molecules, select agents, or bloodborne pathogens whether the activities are carried out on campus or off campus (usually under other Institutional Biosafety Committees).
The IBC will review and authorize for 3 years, research involving: any biological agents, infected animals or tissues (including field work), recombinant DNA, Select Agents & Toxins, and work with human blood, bodily fluids, tissues or cells in culture. Most biological research requires IBC authorization prior to initiation.
The current IBC meeting schedule and application submission deadlines can be found at the link below. All questions and inquiries can be made at EHSbio@colorado.edu or by contacting Environmental Health & Safety at 303-492-6025.
