Online Course Monday, September 19, 2022 to Monday, October 24, 2022
MSMR is offering an on-line training for prospective and new IBC administrators, biosafety officers, IBC members (including IBC community (non-affiliated) members), and public health regulators. Sessions will cover the history and structure of IBCs, the regulations and guidelines that impact IBCs, practical guidance on IBC administration, IBC protocol review and risk assessment, and incorporating the IBC into your institution’s regulatory and ethical framework.
Institutional Biosafety Committees (IBCs), a required review board per the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules and multiple municipal ordinances and regulations, are the cornerstone of institutional oversight of biological research (including recombinant DNA). As the number of institutions involved in biomedical research and the volume of this research has increased, there is an increasingly important need for better prepared IBCs to perform the critical and difficult function of reviewing biomedical research proposals.
Who should attend: Are you are a new IBC member or new to IBC administration? Do you want to get a good IBC foundation? If Yes to any of these questions, this course is also for you.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
- Gain an understanding of the history of ethical concerns presented by rDNA research.
- Describe in detail the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules and other relevant regulations.
- Discuss practical considerations for day-to-day administration of an IBC.
- Develop an understanding of the IBC review process, including biological risk assessment, to ensure appropriate oversight and precautions can be implemented.
- Identify strategies to effectively manage IBCs and best practices for coordination of review and oversight for research requiring review from multiple committees (i.e., research involving human subjects (IRB) and animal subjects (IACUC)
PROGRAM FORMAT
The program consists of five weekly webinars (approximately 1.5 hours each), study assignment, and live facilitated question and answer (Q&A) sessions with an instructor.
ALL Webinars are pre-recorded. Each week, participants watch a recorded webinar and complete the study assignment. The week will conclude with a (Q&A) instructor-led discussion session among classmates.
These discussions will be live on ZOOM on MONDAY at 7:00 PM EDT beginning on September 26, 2022. Participants must attend at least 3 of the live discussion sessions over the course of the five weeks. Successful completion of each weekly module (webinar plus study assignment) is required before the student progresses to the next module.
