Do I need IBC Approval?
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay requires all faculty, staff, and students engaging in research related to recombinant or synthetic nucleic acids, or other potentially hazardous biologics, to receive IBC training and IBC committee approval of their proposed projects irrespective of the funding source. Due to the nature of many projects falling under IBC review, researchers may be required to submit projects for simultaneous approval by both the Institutional Review Board (IRB) or the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and the IBC.
Please click and read through each of these types of research in the table below, and feel free to contact the IBC at ibc@uwgb.edu with further questions.
Research that Will Most Likely Require IBC Review
Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC) is life sciences research that, based on current understanding, can be reasonably anticipated to provide knowledge, information, products, or technologies that could be directly misapplied to pose a significant threat with broad potential consequences to public health and safety, agricultural crops and other plants, animals, the environment, materiel, or national security.
