The 3 I's: Learning through Collaboration, Connection and Community … Advancing Bioscience and Security
May 3 - 4, 2010
Tempe Mission Palms Hotel, Tempe AZ
A groundbreaking national educational conference dedicated to exploring the most up-to-date topics and issues for the IACUC, IBC and IRB communities. Motivated by the strength of collaboration, this conference will create an open atmosphere of participation, fostering sharing and discussing common and not-so-common issues.
This conference has been organized by MSMR and the FBI Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate with the collaboration of other Federal agencies, including Health and Human Services, Homeland Security and the USDA, as well as AAAS, CITI Program, HRP Associates, UC Berkeley, ASU and MIT and others. Our national co-hosts are the California Biomedical Research Association (CBRA) and the Southwest Association for Education in Biomedical Research (SwAEBR).
Attendees will have the unique opportunity to learn about how security communities perceive the risks associated with biological research; attendees will also have the occasion to convey to the Federal representatives their own questions, concerns, and perspectives.
We present a platform for participants to confront tough issues and develop new approaches to enhancing the entire research process through interdisciplinary cooperation and collaboration … with an additional emphasis on biosecurity. You will find general sessions and breakout sessions designed to provide you with hands-on application! Throughout both days, we will include biosecurity topics focused on mitigating potential risks: the goal is to build a culture of responsibility, trust, and cooperation between the scientific and security communities. We are committed to providing real-life examples and practical ideas through the use of case studies and tabletop exercises that will help participants prepare to implement successfully, practical actions in their own regulatory communities.
Moreover, at the conclusion of the conference, it is our goal to determine how the research and security communities can work together and develop collaborative efforts that address risk while ensuring critical biological research continues in an unfettered manner as much as possible.
