Resubmission Form

If the original protocol was submitted and approved using the old hard copy IBC form within the last three years, the grant is a resubmission to the same or an alternate funding source and the protocol remains unchanged, the Form for Resubmission of an IBC Approved Project or its Submission to a Different Funding Source may be used. Minor modifications (including project location changes) to protocols approved on the old hard copy IBC form that were approved within the last three years may also be submitted on this resubmission form, so long as the modification is described and appropriate changes to SOPs are included.

• Form for Resubmission of an IBC Approved Project or its Submission to a Different Funding Source  

For significant changes, such as a change in the approved gene, vector, organism, virus or toxin used; biosafety level; NIH classification; or there will be significant changes to the procedures or SOPs to be used, a completed IBC Biosafety Protocol Form must be submitted online.

If the original protocol was submitted with the online IBC Biosafety Protocol Form, the resubmission or modification should be completed at https://topaz.ouhsc.edu/ using the online amendment form.
