On March 10-11, 2016, the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine held a public symposium on potential U.S.
government policies for the oversight of gain-of- function (GOF)
research. This was the Academies' second meeting held at the
request of the U.S. government to provide a mechanism to engage the
life sciences community and the broader public and solicit feedback
on optimal approaches to ensure effective federal oversight of GOF
research as part of a broader U.S. government deliberative process.
The first symposium, held in December 2014, examined the underlying
scientific and technical questions surrounding the potential risks
and benefits of GOF research involving pathogens with pandemic
potential. The second symposium focused on discussion of the draft
recommendations regarding GOF research of a Working Group of the
National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity. This report
summarizes the key issues and ideas identified during the second
symposium. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2 The
Draft National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity Policy
Framework, the Risk and Benefit Assessment, and Insights for the
Policy Process 3 Issues for U.S. Policy 4 International Policy 5
