Scientific and field researchers doing research with biosafety concerns are required to take a short online questionnaire that will provide valuable feedback for any risks that may arise in their research.  The director of the Risk Management Support Program, Trig Trigiano, will follow up with any suggestions or assistance that may be advisable.  The UA site for the questionnaire is here.
