NIH Update on Public Disclosure of IBC Meeting Minutes
On March 27, 2025, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a memorandum titled “Implementation Update: Promoting Maximal Transparency Under the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules.” In alignment with this update, NIH now requires that approved minutes from all Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) meetings held on or after June 1, 2025, be made publicly accessible on an institutional website immediately following IBC approval.
Accordingly, Baylor College of Medicine will begin posting approved IBC meeting minutes on this webpage once approved.
Consistent with NIH policy, minutes from meetings held prior to June 1, 2025 that are not posted online will continue to be available to the public upon request.
