Note to RPB Applicants from the
Evaluation Board for Registration

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 $15 for ABSA members and $25 for non-ABSA members for each calendar year after approval.

Registered Biosafety Professional (RBP)

A RBP is an individual with a documented university education or specialized training in relevant biological safety disciplines who has submitted the application and been found to be eligible for registration by the ABSA Evaluation Board for Registration. The RBP understands sufficient cell biology, pathogenic microbiology, molecular genetics, immune responses of hosts, and concepts of infectious transmission to enable them to apply safeguards to work with biohazardous materials.
