Institutional Biological Safety Committee (IBC)

LANL's Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), which includes both subject matter experts (SMEs) and independent peers, is the key to biosafety at LANL. No operations involving bioagents/biohazards, including collaborations and work for others (i.e., non-DOE work) shall be conducted at LANL without IBC review. Operations involving bioagents/biohazards shall be conducted only by qualified, trained personnel after institutional acceptance of the work and concurrency by IBC, as required.

NEW: Section 1 of the IBC application now requires a title and a 2-3 sentence summary of the project. The summary will be edited as necessary by the IBC and placed on a public access webpage for the IBC. A checklist has been developed to help managers and PIs with the process of submittal and approval of IBC applications. Complete steps 1 and 2 of the checklist, and submit it with the application.

Please contact the IBC chair (khill@lanl.gov) or BSO (dinas@lanl.gov) for assistance.
