The Biological Use Authorization (BUA) submission process is moving to the Risk & Safety Solutions (RSS) software system, RSS BUA, in time for the April CLEB Meeting! EH&S will be transferring your existing BUA data into the new system.
What do I need to do?
-
Please rework your BUA scope of work narrative to fit the new format of RSS BUA. This is the biggest change and requires attention and preparation by the lab.
-
For guidelines about the new scope of work narrative, please refer to your inboxes or contact bso@berkeley.edu.
-
Submit your updated narrative to bso@berkeley.edu at your earliest convenience; this is needed prior to processing amendments or renewals.
-
If needed, please reach out to bso@berkeley.edu for a current copy of your BUA and amendments (if any).
