OFFICE OF RESEARCH INTEGRITY


MESSAGE FROM THE LABORATORY DIRECTOR

"Pacific Northwest National Laboratory enjoys a well-earned reputation for
technical excellence and professional integrity. Our exceptional staff uphold
this reputation through individual and collective actions. In particular, PNNL's
world-leading scientists and engineers are expected to conduct and communicate
high-quality research with objectivity, integrity, and in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations. It is our privilege to serve the Department of
Energy and all of our sponsors in ways that enable their ongoing mission
success." - Steven Ashby

The Office of Research Integrity, under the direction of the Laboratory
Director’s Office, is chartered to promote scientific integrity and excellence
at PNNL while assisting staff in managing risks associated with research
involving human subjects, vertebrate animals, and biologic agents.

These institutional committees comprise PNNL’s Office of Research Integrity:

 * Institutional Review Board: Reviews and approves research involving human
   subjects to ensure the safety, health, welfare and ethical treatment of
   people who participate in research.
 * Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee: Reviews and approves research
   involving animals to ensure the ethical treatment and humane use of
   laboratory animals.
 * Institutional Biosafety Committee: The Institutional Biosafety Committee
   (IBC) reviews and approves research projects with recombinant DNA (rDNA), as
   required by the National Institutes of Health (NIH); reviews research
   projects with other hazardous biological agents; and reviews Pacific
   Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) security, safeguards, and emergency
   management plans and procedures to assure they adequately consider work
   involving biologic etiologic agents, as required by the US Department of
   Energy (DOE). The IBC adheres to regulatory requirements established by
   multiple federal and state agencies and biomedical laboratory safety
   standards published by national and international health organizations and to
   the biological safety subject area described in 10 CFR Part 851, Appendix A,
   Section 7, Biological Safety.
   
   The IBC reports to the Office of Research Integrity and is directly
   accountable to the Deputy Director for Science and Technology (DDST), who
   also chairs the Office of Research Integrity.
    
   
   The Institutional Biological Safety Committee (IBC) serves as a
   Laboratory-level advisory committee to PNNL’s Biological Safety Program. The
   roles and responsibilities of the IBC are stipulated by both the NIH and
   DOE’s biological safety area, described in 10 CFR 851.24. Thus, the IBC is
   responsible for approving rDNA-associated activities and reviewing Biosafety
   Level controls and various pathogen protocols that may affect safety, health,
   or environmental risks. The IBC communicates issues and proposed improvements
   to the Worker Safety & Health Division. The IBC is responsible for the review
   of PNNL policies and projects involving research with:

 1. Recombinant DNA (rDNA)
 2. Materials classified as requiring Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) containment, or
    higher 
 3. Risk Group 2 organisms, or higher 
 4. Animal pathogens 
 5. Plant pathogens 
 6. Biologic select agents 
 7. Blood borne pathogens 
 8. Toxins 
 9. Other hazardous biological materials that may pose safety, health, or
    environmental risks. 

 * Scientific Integrity and Ethics Board: Partners with PNNL’s legal office to
   promote scientific integrity and investigate cases of alleged scientific
   misconduct, when needed.
