Which roles and responsibilities apply to recombinant DNA research as outlined in NIH guidelines? Select all that apply If one lab at the University of Michigan receives NIH funding, not all labs are necessarily required to comply with the NIH Guidelines. The UM-IBC promotes assessment of potential risks, and reduces personnel exposure or accidental environmental release IBC will review recombinant DNA research, assess the biosafety containment level proposed At least BL1 lab practices should be used with all recombinant DNA work Non compliance with the NIH guidelines may result in loss of funding DNA research to be submitted directly to the NIH for approval before work can be conducted DNA research can submitted to the NIH even after work begins
Drag to the Principal Investigator’s responsibilities to the appropriate place as per the sequential order Responsible for registering their research with the Institutional Biosafety Committee Determine the required levels of physical and biological and select the appropriate microbiological practices and laboratory techniques for research. Responsible for reporting any significant problems or violations of the NIH Guidelines. Communicate with the IBC throughout the project regarding subsequent changes or amendments to an approved IBC registration.

End of Section Quiz
The State of Michigan, Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MiOSHA) regulations are the only regulations required to be followed if your work does not involve recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules: The NIH Guidelines for Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules states that at least BL1 lab practices should be used with all recombinant DNA work Viral vectors are not as hazardous as wild type viruses because a portion of the viral genome has been removed, and therefore are safe for use at a lower containment level (BSL1) because there are fewer risks associated with them.
