IBC Training
IBC Training: NIH Guidelines and UT Policies for Recombinant DNA and Biohazardous Research is required for all laboratory staff and researchers working with rDNA and biohazardous materials. Completion of the course is a requirement for the approval of new and continuing rDNA and biosafety protocols for rDNA and/or biohazardous material research.
If you would like to complete the course online, visit the Compliance Training System page [UT EID required.] The class lasts approximately one hour. To earn credit for the course, you will have to pass a short quiz after you view the training materials. This class will be listed as CW512 in your TXClass Training History.
