IBC Application Forms
This page is to provide you with forms and instructions for exempting or
registering rDNA experiments. Note: Always check the "What's
New" button on the left for announcements about new versions of forms.
Short Version
First, see “Information
for IBC Registration Forms,” to understand definitions.Single step registration – if you know you have to register your non-exempt
experiment:
- UCHC PIs use this form
(Word doc) if your transgenic/gene-targeted mouse is constructed in
the UCHC GTTF.
- UCHC PIs use
this form (Word doc) if your
UCHC-built transgenic/gene targeted animal is built in your lab and
not the GTTF.
- Non-UCHC PIs use this
form if your transgenic/gene-targeted mouse is constructed in
the UCHC GTTF.
- Form for other experiments (Word doc).
- Form for broadscope registrations (experiments using same components repetitively).
Two step registration – if you believe your experiment may be exempt:
- First, fill out IBC Form A (Word doc), in which you supply the host-vector-SOI systems involved.
- Send IBC Form A to the BSO for a determination that your experiment is exempt or not.
- If your experiment is exempt, that’s all. If not, fill out IBC Form B (Word doc). Forms A
and B will be reviewed by the IBC.
Long Version
First, see “Information
for IBC Registration Forms,” to understand definitions.
- If you are involved in the construction of a transgenic, knock-out or knock-in
(gene-targeted) rodent at the UConn Health Center, it is not exempt and must be registered with the IBC. Just do a one step registration process and use
the appropriate IBC Form in the above section.
- If you have already determined that your experiment needs to
be registered, by speaking with the IBC coordinator/BSO or by other means, do a one-step
registration process. Use the IBC Generic Form (Word doc). You may find accessories
(Word doc) helpful for diagrams, tables and other useful stuff. If
you do many repetitive experiments using the same components and
procedures, you may be eligible to submit a broadscope registration using the
IBC Broadscope Form.
- If you want to know if your experiment is
exempt to the NIH rDNA Guidelines,
begin the two-step registration process. Fill out IBC Form A (Word doc)
and email it to the BSO. The BSO will determine if your experiment is exempt or not or ask for
clarifications until the determination* can be made.
- If the determination is your experiment is exempt to the NIH rDNA Guidelines, you’re
done for this experiment. The IBCformA will become the documentation that your experiment is exempt.
- If the determination is your experiment is not exempt, fill out IBC Form B (Word doc)
and email it to the BSO. If the BSO thinks the IBC will approve the application, consisting of IBC Form A and IBC Form B, then it will be submitted to the IBC. The BSO may ask for clarifications
on your application before it will be submitted to the IBC.
- The IBC may ask for clarifications or more information before approving a
registration.
- Find out how the IBC works.
* The determinations of the BSO are subject to the scrutiny and approval of the IBC. The IBC reserves the
right to reverse any declarations of exemption or any biosafety level that the BSO may set. The BSO makes no claim to infallibility and reserves the right to turn to the NIH OBA or the UConn Health
Center IBC for
clarifications or judgments as needed. This may slow things up a bit. |
