  3. How We Got Here: Bad Things Happened Biosafety HumanSubjects VertebrateAnimals • Life article - animal experimentation without pain relief • Poor animal welfare • Use of pets (dogs & cats) in experiments • Nazi Experimentation • Tuskegee syphilis study • Henrietta Lacks • Genetic Engineering concerns • Scope expanded to safety for lab personnel and the environment UVM Research Protections Office

  4. Why we still need to be here: it is necessary and the right thing to do… Biosafety Human Subjects Vertebrate Animals • Regulatory Requirements • Ethical Foundation • (humane care & use) • Bad Things Could Happen • Regulatory Requirements • Ethical Foundation • (environment & humanity) • Bad Things Could Happen • Regulatory Requirements • Ethical Foundation • (rights & welfare) • Bad Things Could Happen UVM Research Protections Office

  18. Where is each Committee with InfoEd? Biosafety Electronic Submission Only Human Subjects Paper Submission Only Vertebrate Animals Electronic Submission Only • Tracking approvals • All protocol materials in system • Sending all correspondence • Generation of Agendas & Minutes with push to members • Electronic review by members • Electronic sign off by chairs • Tracking approvals • Minimal protocol materials in system • Sending some correspondence • Generation of Agendas/Minutes not pushing yet Tracking approvals All protocol materials in system Sending all correspondence Generation of Agendas & Minutes with push to members Electronic review by members Electronic sign off by chairs Last piece is to let PIs submit through InfoEd.
