Bill overview
The Risky Research Review Act establishes the Life Sciences Research Security Board to review proposed Federal funding for life sciences research. The Board will assess research for potential dual-use risks, meaning it could be misused to cause harm, including research involving potential pandemic pathogens or gain-of-function studies. It aims to ensure that Federal funding is not directed towards research that poses unacceptable threats to public health, national security, or agricultural systems. The Board’s decisions will be binding on agencies before they can award such funding.
