The Committee provides the following recommendations: develop criteria for identifying dual use research and research results;
propose a framework for the oversight of dual use research, to serve as a springboard for the US government to develop guidance
and guidelines for dual use life sciences research; provide recommendations on the development of a code of conduct for scientists
and laboratory workers that can be adopted by professional organizations and institutions engaged in the performance of life
science research; provide recommendations on the development of programs for outreach education and training in dual use research
issues for all scientists and laboratory workers at federally-funded institutions; advise on national policies regarding the
conduct of dual use biological research. This includes strategies for addressing national security concerns while at the same
time fostering continued rapid progress in public health research and food and agriculture research (e.g., new diagnostics,
treatments, vaccines and other prophylactic measures, and detection methods). Advise on national policies governing publication,
public communication, and dissemination of dual use research methodologies and results; advise on national policies governing
local review and approval processes for dual use biological research, including the development of guidelines for the case-by-case
review and approval by Institutional Biosafety Committees (IBCs). Advise on criteria and processes for referral of classes
of research or specific experiments by IBCs to the NSABB for guidance; review and provide guidance on specific experiments
insofar as they exemplify a significant or particularly complex permutation of an existing category of dual use research,
or represent a novel category of dual use research that requires additional guidance from the NSABB; respond to requests submitted
by research institutions for the interpretation and application of the guidelines to specific research proposals in instances
where a proposal has been denied by an IBC and the institution seeks additional advice; recommend strategies for fostering
international engagement on dual use biological research issues; address any other issues as directed by the Secretary of
HHS.
