Dartmouth College Environmental Health and Safety and BioRAFT have announced the launch of LabSafetyWorkspace.org. The team established this online laboratory safety training program to provide student scientists and faculty with the knowledge they need to work safely in a lab setting. LabSafetyWorkspace.org is open to researchers worldwide to take introductory safety training courses. The community is also open to course-content contributors with the goal of building a collective knowledgebase on best practices for laboratory safety.
A $15.4-million award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded LabSafetyWorkspace.org. Received in 2010, the award funded the formation of the New Hampshire IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (NH-INBRE), a collaborative network of 10 two- and four-year colleges within the state.
