Tracks: FacilitiesProductionRegulatoryQuality
This session will guide attendees through the maze of requirements, rules, and regulations that govern biomedical and animal research facility planning, programming, design, and construction efforts. The presentation will introduce attendees to the New Design Requirements Manual (DRM) and instruct on its use and the organization of its contents. The DRM includes design guidelines, health and safety information and biological containment and safety requirements for the planning, programming, and design of biomedical and animal research facilities. Compliance with the DRM ensures that NIH owned and funded facilities will be of the highest quality and provides the minimum standards for other i nstitutions around the world.
