The possession, use and transfer of biological materials is tightly controlled by federal regulations and several government agencies. A complete review of the compliance requirements is important for researchers who may work with such materials.

Please send all required documents in one package and allow two to three weeks after receipt of all registration materials for approval by BEI Resources and NIAID. Missing information will delay approval and could result in declining the application.
