The I-SWEEEP adheres to all federal regulations and standards to ensure the safety and welfare of both the researcher and the subjects (humans, animals) involved in the project.

A project supervisor must complete Risk Management Form for projects involving vertebrate animals, biological agents, human subjects, pathogens, animal tissues, hazardous chemicals, activities, and devices. The researcher and project supervisor should be familiar with these regulations before the experimentation or the research.

The following links should be consulted for students with projects involving these subjects or materials. The rules and procedures listed are the same as those practicing scientists must follow, thus we encourage project supervisors to also use these links to ensure the lab safety and welfare. Failure to follow these rules could result in disqualification of student projects.
