5. Biological Safety Approval if the study involves: Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acids Gene Transfer/Therapy DNA Vaccines Stem Cells Select Agents & Toxins Process: A full IBC application is required for studies involving these categories Radiation Safety Approval if the study involves: Ionizing radiation outside of standard of care procedures Process: The IRB Application should be initiated and SHARED with Radiation Safety Committee to review and approve.

6. Biological Safety: If study involves exposure to other biological material, but not a specified category Process: Complete form (available in IRBNet) and submit to IBC Office Radiation Safety: If exposure is standard of care - complete form (available in IRBNet) and submit to Radiation Safety Office Medical Center: If the study involves patients, clinics, medical records, and/or billing information, budget, and resource approval is REQUIRED - routing via eSPRoute recommended Chemical Safety: A ONE registration is required, which covers all protocols involving chemicals Data Security & Storage (ITSS): Attestation submitted at time of IRB Submission Secure data storage location requested via IT Service Desk
