Registered Biosafety Professional (RBP)
List of Credentialed Biosafety Professionals
Note to RPB Applicants from the
Credentialing Evaluation Board
The initial step in registration is to complete and submit the application. Your application must show that your education and experience will make you eligible for registration as a Registered Biological Safety Professional (RBP). It is, therefore, most important that your application furnish sufficient detail to enable the Examining Board to make an adequate appraisal.
All directions must be followed. Failure to complete all parts of the application or failure to provide all of the necessary details will delay the evaluation of your application.
After the Examining Board has reviewed and evaluated your application, you will be notified with regard to the outcome.
There will be a maintenance fee of $25 for each calendar year after approval.
