Institutional Committees

DURC/IRC

NBACC’s Institutional Review Committee (IRC) reviews all scientific projects for dual use research of concern (DURC) and provides screening to ensure institutional and programmatic prerequisites are identified. The IRC follows all requirements as outlined in the United States Government Policy for Institutional Oversight of Life Sciences Dual Use Research of Concern, September 2014.

NBACC has made available its two forms that the IRC uses to perform its review of projects and continued oversight of DURC research.
