Will materials be shipped offsite or received from a collaborator? Has a Materials Transfer Agreement been approved? Do you know if permits are required (APHIS, CDC, USDA Select Agents)? If yes, which permit is required? 7/18/2013 ☐Yes ☐Yes ☐Yes ☐Yes ☐No ☐No ☐No ☐No ☐ Not Sure Section 8: Risk Assessment A risk assessment must be performed by the Principal Investigator and Biological Safety Officer prior to submittal to the IBC. Contact OEHS, 862-4041, ehs@unh.edu to schedule. Section 9: Principal Investigator’s Statement As Principal Investigator I certify that this application is accurate and complete. I understand that a risk assessment must be performed by me in conjunction with the Biological Safety Officer prior to review by the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC). Work cannot commence until approval has been granted by the IBC. I agree to comply with all requirements pertaining to the use, handling, storage, and disposal of recombinant and biohazardous materials. I also agree to follow the recommendations from the current edition of the CDC/NIH handbook, Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories. I agree to update this Project Registration Document whenever personnel or materials change, or annually at a minimum. I understand that the IBC grants approval for up to 3 years and a new application will need to be submitted following expiration of this protocol. I also understand that I am responsible for the safe, responsible conduct of my program and design and implications of the projects under my direction. Appropriate engineering controls and personal protective equipment will be provided to all laboratory workers as necessary for the procedures required in the experiment. Any vaccinations or medical surveillance requirements, as determined by the IBC, will also be met prior to the initiation of experimental work. I will comply with shipping and permitting requirements for infectious agents and biohazardous materials. I understand that I must report any personnel exposure or biohazardous material release to the Biological Safety Officer immediately. I acknowledge that IBC registration and approval represents only institutional approval of the protocol as it relates to biosafety issues. Approval is not transferrable to any other UNH faculty or staff member. I understand that I am responsible to assure that work under this protocol complies fully with the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules and all applicable UNH policies and procedures. All other necessary institutional approvals are not covered by this registration. X Signature [To electronically sign document, double click “X” and type in your name] 7/18/2013
