NSF BioPACIFIC MIP Wiki

1. UCSB NetID Registration (This step is not required for UCSB-based researchers).

• Visiting Researchers: Email Eleni Papananou (hellen@ucsb.edu) to request an Annex Locator. Provide your university or professional email, full name, and date of birth.
• Once you receive the Annex Locator, activate your UCSB netID using the UCSB Identity Manager as a University Affiliate.

2. Activate the Lab Hazard Assessment Program (Local UCSB researchers already added to another lab hazard assessment may skip this step).

• Log in to Assessment using your UCSB netID and log out.

3. Complete the UC Laboratory Safety Fundamentals Course (UC-affiliated researchers can login to their own campus’ UC Learning Center to provide a copy of the class certificate.).

• Take the course online via the UCSB Learning Center and save the completion certificate.
• Email the certificate to Debbie Kleinpeter (BP-admin@cnsi.ucsb.edu).

4. Submit the Chemical Hygiene Plan Attestation Form

• Read the SOPs and BioPACIFIC MIP Chemical Hygiene Plan,
  
• Read Section 2 of the UCSB Chemical Hygiene Plan.
  
• Read Section 3 of the UCSB Chemical Hygiene Plan.
  
• Download, sign, and email the Chemical Hygiene Plan Attestation Form to Debbie Kleinpeter.

5. X-ray Users Only

• Complete the online Radiation Safety Training course titled “Radiation Producing Machines” via the UCSB Learning Center.
• Submit the completion certificate to Youli@mrl.ucsb.edu.

6. Symphony-X Users Only

• Complete the Symphony X Attestation Form and email it to morganbates@ucsb.edu.

7. Schedule Instrument Training

• Once the above steps are completed, email the relevant project scientist to schedule your instrument training.
• Include your UCSB netID, PI name, department, university affiliation, BioPACIFIC MIP proposal ID/project code, or recharge account number.

8. Acknowledge Your Addition to the Lab

• The project scientist will add you to the laboratory hazard assessment roster using your UCSB netID.
• Log in to Assessment and acknowledge the hazard safety assignment for the corresponding laboratory (Elings 2411 and 2436 for Synthesis and Additive Manufacturing or Elings 2419 for X-ray)

An example action item assignment in Assessment is shown below:

9. PPE Safety Training and Pick-Up

• Complete the PPE Safety Training Course.
• Schedule a PPE pick-up appointment via Google Calendar. Please provide required details: non-flammable lab coat, BioPACIFIC MIP as PI, preferred gender, and coat size.
• Pick up your PPE from Chemistry Building loading dock, storeroom #1432.

10. Lab Walkthrough

• Complete a laboratory safety walk-through with Zach Nett (zjnett@ucsb.edu) before gaining keycard access or unrestricted reservation access to equipment.
• Download the Training Needs Assessment Form and bring it to your session.

11. Keycard Access

• Visiting Researchers: Email the User Coordinator (hellen@ucsb.edu) to obtain a keycard for lab access. Return it on your last day at UCSB.
• UCSB Researchers: Apply for CNSI card access or update your existing card using the CNSI online form (accessible via campus Wi-Fi or VPN).

12. Equipment Reservations

• Following training, reserve equipment online using FBS with your UCSB netID.
• If using the equipment via an active proposal, ask a staff scientist to set up an internal BioPACIFIC MIP lab account for tracking usage.

13. Shipping Address

• For shipping reagents, samples, or supplies to BioPACIFIC MIP, please use the address below and include the name of the staff member you are working with in the attention line:
