Regulations Regarding Experiments with Transgenic Plants and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) & their import
In response to regulations issued by the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture and in accordance with the National Committee for Transgenic Plants (NCTP), Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has established a Recombinant DNA Committee. The BGU Recombinant DNA Committee operates according to NIH guidelines and instructions as directed by NCTP. Researchers wishing to import, experiment on/or work with genetically modified plants and/or microorganisms must receive authorization from the Recombinant DNA Committee. This requirement comes into effect at the research proposal submission stage. Submission of requests to the Committee is according to the following scheme:
Researchers of the Department of Biotechnology Engineering, will submit applications to Dr. Alex Sivan - Committee Chair(Tel.: +972-8-6461961, E-mail: sivan@bgu.ac.il)
Researchers of the Faculty of Health Sciences will submit applications to Prof. Ester Priel - Committee member (Tel.: +972-8-6477254, E-mail: priel@bgu.ac.il)

Conflicts of interest in research may occur when outside financial interests compromise, have the potential to compromise, or have the appearance of compromising, the professional judgment of a researcher when designing, conducting, or reporting research results.
There have been recent changes in the U.S. Code relating to financial conflicts of interest (FCoI) in the conduct of Federally funded research and one aspect of being in compliance requires that researchers take an FCoI course at least once every 4 years.
CITI (Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative) is a consortium of US universities who have created training modules on many issues that fall under the general heading of Responsible Conduct of Research. One of those modules focuses on FCoI and that is the course BGU researchers will be required to take.
Taking the course begins with registration here: http://www.citiprogram.org
