A Note to All Researchers: The purpose of this page is to help guide applicants through the radiation safety approval process. To get information on the complete process of beginning research at Ϲ please see the Office of Research's Research Resources Website.

Research use of radiation produced by machines (x-ray diffraction unit, x-ray irradiator) or radioactive material (unsealed radioactive isotopes, sealed source irradiator).

Radioactive Material

Will radiation be used under the authorization of someone currently approved by ORS to use radiation?

YES

  • Amendment Form (DOC) for minor changes (possession limit, new area, etc.)
  • Submit an for the research protocol which will be subject to review by either the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) or the Institutional Animal Use and Care (IACUC) Committee.
  • Submit a Radiation Verification (RV) form (PDF) to be used by the Office of Radiation Safety (ORS) in evaluation of the radiation safety concerns that may be part of the protocol.
  • Once ORS has completed a review, the associated committee will complete the review process.

NO - (choose from below)

You may submit an application to use radioactive material concurrently with an IACUC or IBC application above.
