Agency Guidelines
This section links you to the most current version of the NIH Recombinant
DNA Guidelines that I can find and the CDC Biosafety in Microbiological
and Biomedical Laboratories Handbook.
You should refer to both the NIH Guidelines and the CDC Handbook to complete
the University of Arizona IBC Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement
Form. The USDA Guidelines may be useful in completing MUA's for research
pertaining to plants and plant pathogens.
