On July 18-19, 2017, the NIH Office of Science Policy held a workshop on the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules. The goals of the workshop were to examine the current biosafety oversight framework, and discuss the future direction of biosafety oversight in light of the emergence of new technologies in the life sciences and the evolution in our understanding of risk and safety.

Questions about the workshop may be sent to NIHGuidelines@od.nih.gov.
