All research using biological agents and recombinant DNA requires the review and approval of the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC). The IBC reviews protocols and amendments via eProtocol, web-based product to manage IACUC, IBC, and IRB protocols.

Two types of eProtocol users:

1. Investigator users: Users with roles which include Principal Investigators (PIs), Co-Investigators, and their lab members. Investigator users can access those protocols that belong to the group owner (PI). 
2. Administrative users: Users with administrative roles which include IACUC Administrators, IACUC Committee members, and designated animal technicians. 

Access to eProtocol is through your UTEP username and UTEP password. You will need to allow pop-up windows for eProtocol to work properly.
