Biosafety Core
Cognitive and Practical Biosafety Education for the Host-Pathogen Investigator.
This education program seeks to increase awareness of biological hazards encountered in biodefense and emerging disease research laboratories, to provide a scientific basis for assessing risks associated with this research, to provide guidance on recommended practices and to promote the development of required skills to work safely with human pathogens. The object of safety awareness and practice is to assure laboratory and support personnel that—with proper precautions, equipment and facilities—biohazardous materials can be handled without undue risk to themselves, their associates, their families, and the environment.

GLRCE Biosafety Scholar/Research Program
This scholarship program will provide 1 year of training in Biosafety program management and an opportunity to participate in a research program working with pathogenic microorganisms, including select agents.
Upon completion of the program, the Scholar trainee will be prepared to establish and supervise biosafety programs in a variety of research settings, especially those with associated biocontainment facilities.
