Draft NIH Biosafety Policy for Research Involving Biohazards

As the world's largest public funder of biomedical research, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is committed to ensuring that gold-standard science is conducted under gold-standard biosafety conditions. To achieve this goal, NIH is proposing a new policy that modernizes and strengthens biosafety practices to ensure that oversight keeps pace with evolving risks. NIH is requesting public input on a new, comprehensive biosafety policy proposal that, when finalized, will replace the current NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules (https://osp.od.nih.gov/wp-content/ uploads/NIH_Guidelines.pdf).
