New Laboratories
Before beginning research in any new laboratory, the Principal Investigator must complete a Laboratory Annual Self-Inspection Form (LASIF). LASIFs are reviewed on a monthly basis at the full meeting of the SRS. Once a laboratory receives approval for its LASIF, the Principal Investigator will only be required to submit the two-page Request to Review Biosafety Project form, describing the specific procedures used in any new research projects. The LASIF will must be renewed on an annual basis, and the Science Information Office will notify the investigator prior to the expiration of their laboratory's approval. Please submit any Biosafety applications directly to the Science Information Office.

Established Laboratories
For each new project, you must complete the two-page Request to Review Biosafety Project form. Projects are reviewed on a rolling basis and the SRS paperwork may be submitted prior to your R&D Committee submission. This form is used for the review of an individual project.

The annual resubmission and approval of your laboratory paperwork will renew your approval for each project conducted in your laboratory. The Science Information Office will notify you prior to the annual expiration of your laboratory's approval. Please submit any Biosafety applications directly to the Science Information Office.
