Abstract

The Biosafety Office (BSO) is responsible for overseeing research biosafety and biosecurity at Colorado State University (CSU), which is a large public research institution in the United States. The CSU BSO is unique in that it oversees a wide range of research projects, including agricultural work and veterinary and large animal research, across a range of containment levels, including work at biosafety level (BSL)-3, animal biosafety level (ABSL)-3, and arthropod containment level (ACL)-3.
• The BSO emphasizes building positive relationships with researchers, embracing a spirit of collaboration over policing.
