The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) and Office of Biological Safety require all minors (persons under the age of 18 whether student, employee, or volunteer) who work, conduct or observe research utilizing biohazardous materials requiring IBC registration in a UK research laboratory, greenhouse, animal facility, or farm/field location outside the UK campus to abide by the UK Department of Research Safety's Safety of Minors in Research Program. Minors enrolled in the program with projects within IBC purview must also be listed on the PI/Sponsor’s IBC protocol registration and complete all relevant training requirements before beginning work.
