Biohazards Committee
The Biohazards Committee oversees research projects through a professionally qualified and independent panel and promotes a culture of biosafety and biosecurity awareness, all while supporting research and teaching activities.
The Tri-Council Agencies require that universities assess and warrant that their research activities comply with various laws and policies including those relating to biological materials. Aside from these agencies, applicable laws and regulations must be followed to manage environmental release that might result in human, plant, or animal disease, as well as effects on plant biology and ecology including crop plants.
Applications can be submitted at any time and are reviewed electronically.
