PART 2 POSSIBLE RISKS

<fieldset>
 
 
 
<h2>Part 2: Identifying possible risks </h2>
 
 
<p>iGEM has developed a <a href="https://2020.igem.org/Safety/Risk_Assessment_Tool"> Risk Assessment Tool </a> to help you identify possible risks to you, your colleagues, communities, or the environment. We encourage you to use this tool before filling in this part of the form. What are you using / planning to use? Some organisms and parts present risks beyond what is ordinary for lab work in synthetic biology. As your project progresses, you should consider the risks presented by each organism and part you plan to use.</p>
 
 
 
<!-------------------- Question 3 ----------------------------------------------->
 
 
 
<p class="question"> 3. Which whole organisms, including viruses and cell lines, are you planning to use or using in your project? <br>
 
<span class="question_note">Please provide as much detail as possible (such as strain information). If you are not using an organism, please note this.</span>

<h3>Parts</h3>
 
 
<p>This part of the form is for you to tell us about the parts you are planning to make or have developed during your project. It summarises information that might already have been submitted through <a href="https://2020.igem.org/Safety/Check_In">Check-in forms</a>. If you submitted a <a href="https://2020.igem.org/Safety/Check_In">Check-In form</a> for a part, you should still include it in this section. You may omit parts that were already in the Registry if you are using them without significant modifications. </p>
 
<p>
 
For more information on virulence factors see the <a href="https://2020.igem.org/Safety/Policies">Safety Policy</a> page and the <a href="https://2020.igem.org/Safety/White_List">White List</a>.

<b>A. Species name of parent organism (including strain):</b>
 
For an organism, give the scientific name of the species. Include a strain name or number (such as "K-12" for E. coli K-12) if there is one. For a part, give the name and strain of the organism that the part originally came from. If the part has no natural comparator, note this.
 
</p>
 
 
<p>
 
<b>B. Risk Group: </b>
 
Give the Risk Group of the organism in column A. You may use a categorization according to your home country, according to the USA, or according to the WHO. If the organism falls into an 'in-between' or special category such as 2+ or 2-Agricultural, explain this category in the Notes column. If you cannot find any Risk Group categorization for this organism, write "N/A" and explain in the Notes column. (Multicellular organisms generally do not have a Risk Group.)<br>

<b>D. Disease risk to humans:  </b>
 
Does this organism cause any disease in humans? If yes, what disease does it cause?
 
</p>
 
 
 
<p>
 
<b>E. Disease or other risks to the environment:  </b>
 
Does the organism cause plant or animal diseases or would in any other way pose a risk to the environment if accidentally released?
 
</p>
 
 
<p>
 
<b>F. Part number/name:</b> <i>For a part: </i>If it has a Registry part number (like BBa_XXXXX), write that number. If it has no Registry part number, give a short name for the part. (For example: "Actin", "Alcohol Dehydrogenase".) For a whole organism, leave this column blank.
 
</p>
 
 
 
<p>
 
<b>G. Natural function of part:</b>  <i>For a part:</i> Briefly describe what the part does in its parent organism. (If it is an enzyme, what reaction does it catalyze? If it is a receptor, what molecules does it bind to? Etc.) For a whole organism, leave this column blank.
 
</p>
 
 
 
<p>
 
<b>H. How did you acquire it: </b> Describe how you acquired the organism/part. If you have not acquired it yet, describe how you plan to acquire it. (For example: did you receive the part DNA from another lab? Did you order the part DNA from a synthesis company? Did you use PCR to isolate the part from genomic DNA of its parent organism? Did you order the cell line from a company?)
 
</p>
 
 
<p>
 
<b>I. How will you use it: </b>  Describe how you are using the organism/part in the lab. (For example: "This organism is our chassis." "This part senses when the cells are exposed to glucose." "This organism is the source for a part that we are isolating by PCR." "This part produces the toxin which our bio-sensor is designed to detect.")

<span class="question_note">Please explain briefly. We are particularly keen to understand the boundaries or scope of your project. You should include the names of species / cell lines / strains. You should include experiments involving parts taken from other organisms, even if they are being synthesized rather than isolated from nature – you need not include any parts already in the registry.</span></P>

<span class="question_note">Virtually all modern life science and biotechnology carries with it some risks. These can be identified and managed helping to ensure your work makes a positive impact on the world. Basic risks are managed for you in many institutions. As you think about how your project might enter the real world, being a responsible biological engineer will require you to think about and manage these risks yourselves. You can find some great resources on the <a href="https://2020.igem.org/Safety">Safety and Security</a> and <a href="https://2020.igem.org/Human_Practices">Human Practices</a> hubs on our wiki. It is even possible that software projects could also pose relevant risks.</span>

<p>It is impossible to remove all risk from any biological activity. Instead, we attempt to manage these risks - to reduce them to an acceptable level. In this section, you should outline what steps have been taken (or you are planning to take) to reduce any risks you identified in Part 2 of the form, in particular Question 10.</p>
 
 
 
<!-------------------- Question 13 ----------------------------------------------->
 
 
<p class="question">13. How will experts overseeing your project help to manage any of the risks you identified in this form?<br>
 
 
<span class="question_note">
 
For example, who is responsible for the safety and security of biology labs at your institution? What role has any institutional biosafety officer played in reviewing your work? What skills do these experts have that might help? For example, do they have a long history of working with an organism or part that might pose a risk? How familiar are they with the experimental procedures and practices you will be, or are, using?

<p class="question">15. Have your team members received any safety training?<br>
 
<span class="question_note">For the purposes of iGEM, biosafety and biosecurity training covers the procedures and practices used to manage risks from accidents or deliberate misuse of your projects to your team, colleagues, communities and the environment. All team members are expected to be aware of these risks and to work to manage them.

It might also include things you deliberately didn't do. For example, if you are not conducting any experiments, especially on grounds of safety, security or as a responsible scientist / engineer, please note this. Examples might include, making sure you only use non-pathogenic strains of an organism, deciding that animal use experiments are not yet warranted, or avoiding plant infection experiments because the affected plant is found in your country. Please also consider waste treatment – how will you know that any waste produced in your project will be successfully inactivated?</span>

Safety Form

The purpose of this form is for everyone, including iGEM, to know you are doing your project safely and securely. This is how we know that everyone in iGEM is assessing and managing any risks to yourselves, your colleagues, communities or the environment. If you don't tell us how you are dealing with these risks, we don't know. Being transparent about any possible risks and how we are managing them is a key component of being a responsible scientist or engineer - so please answer the questions as fully as possible.

Important

Complying with the safety and security requirements is a condition of competing at iGEM - that includes providing all the information in this form by the relevant deadlines. Failure to do so can lead to immediate disqualification from the competition and referral to the Responsible Conduct Committee.

Deadlines

The form should be updated throughout the project whenever there is a change that alters possible risks or the procedures, practices and containment provisions being used to manage them.

Due Date: June 26, 11:59PM EDT
An initial version of this form, with as much information as possible, is to be provided by the team.

Due Date: September 11, 11:59PM EDT
A final version of this form must be signed off by the PI.

Approach

In general, we are looking for information in four areas. We want you to explain:

  1. An overview of what you are trying to accomplish (Part 1);
  2. What risks might be connected to your project now or in the future (Part 2);
  3. What procedures, practices and containment provisions you are using to manage the risks you identify (Part 3); and
  4. That you are complying with iGEM’s safety and security rules and policies (Part 4).

Other required safety and security information

Any time you are planning to use an organism or part not on the White List the team needs to submit a Check-in Form before using them.

Any time you are planning to use a vertebrate animal in your project the team needs to submit an Animal Use Form before using them.
