It is the sole responsibility of the Principal Investigator to apply for any necessary permits. In addition to obtaining relevant permit approvals, the use of regulated materials will require a Biohazard Project registration within the EH&S
Gator TRACS online safety platform. Registrations are reviewed and approved by the Biosafety Office and/or Institutional Biosafety Committee. Within this registration system, investigators will need to upload current versions of permits, field release approvals, and other supporting documentation.
Through routine research safety surveys, EH&S will help ensure permit and project stipulations are being met. If you have any questions regarding plant research, please do not hesitate to contact the EH&S Biological Safety Office ( bso@ehs.ufl.edu).
