Institutional Animal
Care and Use Committee (IACUC)
IACUC
5
The IACUC must …
 Monitor animal research
 Address occupational health
requirements
 Address training requirements
 Inventory and track animals
used for research at all
campuses
In order for…
Animals to be used safely and
humanely in research at WSU

Institutional Biosafety
Committee
(IBC)
IBC
7
 Reviews procedures for working with potentially
hazardous biological materials including:
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
Infectious Agents and Pathogens
Human
Animal
Plants
Human Tissue and Cells (used in research)
 Verifies containment practices and facilities
Biosafety levels (BSL-1, -2, -3)

Institutional Review Board
(IRB)
IRB9
The IRB is responsible for the review and approval of all
research activities involving human subjects. The IRB is
charged with protecting the rights and welfare of human
subjects to ensure that all are treated physically,
psychologically and socially in such a way as to minimize
embarrassment and stress, and to avoid harm or other
negative effects in compliance with the federal, state and
university regulations. The guiding principles of the IRB:
10
Radiation Safety Office/Radiation
Safety Committee
(RSO/RSC)
RSO/RSC
11
The WSU Radiation Safety Office supports the University's
teaching, research and outreach mission by administering
a program that ensures the safe use of radioactive
materials and radiation machines on the Pullman campus
and other WSU sites around the state.
12
Conflict of Interest Committee
(COIC)
COIC
13
The COI Committee must:
 Increase accountability
 Add transparency
 Enhance regulatory compliance and effective
administrative management of PIs’ financial conflicts of
interest.
We want to manage conflicts and potential conflicts in
order to support entrepreneurship while protecting the
reputations of PIs and WSU.
14
Export Controls
Export
Controls
15
 It is ultimately each person’s obligation to comply with Export
Regulations in respect to their WSU associated activities.
 Most research activities at WSU are exempted through the
Fundamental Research Exemption. Work with export controlled
equipment is allowed for foreign nationals who would otherwise be
restricted because of a very specific definition of “use”:
• operating,
• installing,
• maintaining,
• repairing,
• overhauling,
• and refurbishing.
16
Responsible
Conduct of Research
(RCR)
RCR
17
RCR trainings on MyResearch for both Faculty/Staff and
students.
Retraining is required every 5 years.
Anyone who is credited on a grant must be current on training.
