The Biosafety Office and Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) are committed to keeping safety an essential element in your laboratory research. To this end, we are jointly rolling out the new Biological Registration module within the BioRAFT online platform. This system comprehensively tracks all biological research at the University and registers protocols for review by the IBC committee in one location.
As of September 1, 2021, the IBC will require that all non-clinical researchers register their IBC-related work in Bioraft. The Biosafety office will require all labs conducting biological research to submit a registration summarizing the nature of their work by October 1, 2021.
Please contact ibcsupport@miami.edu or biosafety@miami.edu for system access issues and support.
Each time you fill out a new form, please download it from this website. The forms will be updated periodically. If you experience difficulty opening a document, please download directly to your computer.
In keeping with NIH and CDC guidance, the Institutional Biosafety Committee and Environmental, Health and Safety are requiring that all research with live (isolated) SARS-CoV-2 virus be performed at BL3. There are currently no BL3 facilities at the University of Miami; therefore, this research is not authorized at the University. All other work involving SARS-CoV-2, including clinical specimens and use of recombinant/synthetic nucleic acids, must be registered as per the attached table, Research Laboratory Biosafety Guidelines. Projects involving the use of recombinant/synthetic nucleic acids from SARS-CoV-2 will also require IBC approval. Project approvals will detail the required containment practices for the proposed work.
