At the NIH, the principal method by which potential exposure information for laboratory personnel is gathered is with the Human Pathogen Registration Document (HPRD) form. All Principal Investigators (PIs) working with human pathogens; human blood, body fluids, or tissues; biological toxins; and the blood, tissues, or body fluids of old-world non-human primate (NHP) species must submit a properly completed HPRD to the NIH Biosafety Officer for subsequent review by the NIH IBC. All new HPRD submissions are being taken electronically using our web-based online submission system called PI-Dashboard.

PI-Dashboard can be used securely from any computer with internet access and allows PIs to see all the information they need through their own user profile. This registration submission and update process is streamlined, thus making administrative changes and revisions to existing registrations much easier. In addition, a research submission involving the use of rDNA and potential pathogens can be done together. Researchers are in control of their approved registrations, with the ability to add/remove labs, associated personnel, relevant linked registrations, as needed and when needed. To contact or speak with a PI-Dashboard technical support representative, please e-mail support@healthrx.com or call (800) 690-3530.
