BSAA Activities Access Pass (AAP)
Dear Colleagues,
As the new fiscal year begins, we know training and professional development budgets are stretched thin. Travel restrictions, rising hotel costs, and expensive flights make it harder than ever to attend important training opportunities. That’s why the Biosafety Administrators Association (BSAA) created the Activities Access Pass (AAP) — a smarter, more affordable way to stay current and connected.
Why the AAP Makes Sense:
- No Travel Required: Access training and education services through Zoom — no flights, no hotels, no downtime.
- Budget-Friendly: Focus your institution’s funds on in-house training instead of travel expenses.
- Membership-Equivalent Privileges: Many institutions don’t allow staff to purchase memberships. The AAP works around this by letting you pre-purchase functions with the same privileges as a BSAA membership.
- Flexible Learning Options: Short, focused webinars when you need a quick update — and longer, 5-hour meetings when more in-depth analysis is required.
- Custom Support: Brown-bag sessions designed at member request, plus consulting services that ensure your program is not only compliant but operating at maximum effectiveness and efficiency.
What’s Included with Your AAP:
- Complimentary access to all BSAA webinars (at least 8 per year)
- $100 off all BSAA meetings and professional certification fees
- Discounts on customized institutional training tailored to your IBC program
- 10% off consulting services, where we validate compliance, benchmark against peers, identify best practices, and help improve efficiency.
Recent and Upcoming Program Highlights:
In 2025, BSAA hosted 8 webinars thus far covering, for example:
- Understanding the Requirements Around Transgenic Animals
- NIH Guidelines Section III-F (September 17, 2025)
- Controlled Substance Management
- Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC)
- Effective Communication
We also delivered longer programs including:
- Biosafety Administrators 101 and 201
- Occupational Health and Safety Programs
- Biosafety Training Programs (this fall)
- International Research and Program Security (this winter)
And in November 2025, we’ll again offer the Certification Exam — as we have for the past 3–4 years. Looking ahead to 2026, BSAA has multiple new workshops and webinars planned to keep you current with changing regulations.
Why Now?
The regulatory environment is evolving quickly — and your IBC must be ready. With so much to manage in the office, the AAP gives you convenient access to timely, high-quality education without travel barriers.
Act now and secure your AAP for this fiscal year.
Keep your institution compliant, your staff informed, and your program efficient — all while saving precious professional development funds.
