Workstream 1:
Oversight of Biological & Other Research Materials
Improving the stewardship and oversight of biological and other regulated research materials.
About this Workstream
The Oversight of Biological & Other Research Materials workstream strengthens the university’s approach to managing biological and other regulated research materials through improved oversight, institutional coordination, and consistent practices. Its work helps ensure that researchers have the guidance and support needed to manage these materials securely and responsibly.
Strong stewardship of regulated research materials helps protect the research enterprise, supports compliance with institutional and regulatory expectations, and enables researchers to pursue discovery with confidence. As part of RSSI, this workstream contributes to a coordinated, university-wide approach to research safety and security.
