Compliance with the NIH Guidelines is a requirement for every institution that conducts rsNA activities and receives NIH funding. Since UConn receives NIH funding, compliance is a term and condition of funding for all labs handling rsNA constructs at UConn. It should be noted that the NIH Guidelines may be applicable to experimental activities, regardless of the project’s funding source.

 

Section IV-B-2-a of the Guidelines requires an institution to maintain an IBC that comprises of no fewer than five members, two of which must include community members unaffiliated with the institution. The UConn IBC consists of faculty, staff, and community representatives, all of whom contribute to the professional competency necessary to review the broad scope of research and teaching activities at the university.
