Biosafety Committee

The Biosafety Committee oversees all research conducted at ISU using recombinant DNA (rDNA). Researchers using rDNA must contact the committee to ensure the research complies with NIH guidelines.

These guidelines pertain to all research at ISU, not just that funded by NIH. The following links will provide you with the information needed to apply for approval from the committee on your research project.

• Procedure to obtain approval for a project
