Training

Initial face-to-face biosafety training and/or online CITI IBC training will be provided to all faculty, staff, and students involved in biohazardous or recombinant agent use, conforming to those requirements outlined in the NIH Guidelines. The committee and each investigator will ensure that personnel are qualified to perform their specific duties. The training and instruction will be made available, and the qualifications of personnel reviewed, with sufficient frequency to fulfill TAMIU's responsibility as specified in NIH Guidelines and as specified in the TAMIU IBC Policy and Procedures manual. Depending on the project, additional training may be required.
