4.2.5.2 Research Proposals and Protocols; Gene Research

1. No employee may conduct research involving recombinant DNA or infectious agents and transfer vectors at Lewis & Clark, or that is sponsored by Lewis & Clark, without approval from the CIB and compliance with applicable requirements. Participation in research at other institutions by Lewis & Clark faculty or research staff is expected to be approved by that institution’s CIB.
2. The CIB shall review all research proposals or protocols involving the use of recombinant DNA and associated transfer vectors.
3. Any research involving human subjects and recombinant DNA shall be reviewed and approved by both the CIB and the Committee on Human Subjects Research (also known as the Institutional Review Board, or “IRB”). This includes any research in which a Lewis & Clark investigator is a collaborator, including work being conducted outside of Lewis & Clark.
