Infectious Diseases Society of America and Gain-of-Function Experiments With Pathogens Having Pandemic Potential 2016-05-01 .txt text/plain 2163 85 39 To that end, we highlight below 6 key recommendations that the IDSA recently shared with the NSABB as we discuss how best to assess the benefits and risk of GOF research of concern. The IDSA strongly urges the NSABB to narrow its definition of GOF research to be considered for risk-benefit assessment (RBA), to avoid this inadvertent capture of low-risk research, which is not mentioned in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's original description of the types of research that should be included in the deliberative process. The IDSA strongly supports these actions and also urges the NSABB to consider seeking additional perspectives to inform the RBA process, including those of a range of experts in vaccine development, microbial risk assessment, and public health response; physicians whose work is primarily clinical; and the public. Risks and benefits of gain-of-function experiments with pathogens of pandemic potential, such as influenza virus: a call for a science-based discussion ./cache/cord-011708-naezfola.txt ./txt/cord-011708-naezfola.txt
