FASEB Submits Comments on Draft NIH Biosafety Policy

Tuesday, October 20, 2026
FASEB submitted comments to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in response to its request for information on the draft NIH Policy for Research Involving Biohazards. FASEB commended NIH for modernizing biosafety oversight and extending it to biohazards generally, with review tiered by risk. The comments urge NIH to keep administrative burden proportionate to risk, provide clear and timely review pathways, and ensure that reporting requirements do not discourage researchers from disclosing adverse outcomes or events.
