Mashup Score: 3The Evolution of United States Governance Policies for Research Using Pathogens with Enhanced Pandemic Potential | Applied Biosafety - 14 day(s) ago
Background: Prompted by publications in 2012 involving the enhancement of a highly virulent but poorly transmissible human pathogen to make it more transmissible, the research community and the U.S. government have implemented policies to oversee research involving enhanced pathogens that pose the risk of causing a pandemic. Method: This article reviews the evolution of policies governing high consequence, government-funded research that has been called “gain-of-function-research-of-concern,” research with “enhanced potential pandemic pathogens” (ePPPs), and research with “pathogens with enhanced pandemic potential” (PEPPs). It analyzes features that these policies share and points out some of their shortcomings, challenges, and ambiguities. Results: These policies, culminating in the 2024 United States Government Policy for Oversight of Dual-Use Research of Concern and Pathogens with Enhanced Pandemic Potential, all define a set of consequential research activities that trigger the ne
