RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH SESSION
MARCH, 16, 2011 |
|
|
| |
Organized by AAAS and the Kuwait Institute of Scientific Research (KISR) in collaboration with NIH/NSABB
|
|
|
| |
ARCHIVED VIDEO-TELECONFERENCE
|
|
|
| |
BACKGROUND:
On March 16, 2011 NIH, NSABB, the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS) and the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research conducted a bilateral video-teleconference (VTC) on the topic of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR). This two-hour plenary RCR session was part of the AAAS International Engagement Meeting: Responsible Bioscience for a Safe and Secure Society. The purpose of the session was to engage life scientists and policy makers from the Broader Middle East and North Africa region (BMENA) on the issue of RCR. For this conference, RCR included three sub-topics: biosafety, bioethics, and biosecurity/DUR and included brief presentations by three panelists, each addressing one of the three RCR sub-topics. The session continued with a general discussion on the three RCR sub-topics among participants in Kuwait and a Washington-based panel, which included Drs. Paul Keim (NSABB), Stuart Levy (NSABB), and Kavita Berger (AAAS).

STRENGTHENING THE CULTURE OF RESPONSIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO DUAL USE RESEARCH AND BIOSECURITY
ARCHIVED VIDEO-TELECONFERENCE
|
|
|
| |
BACKGROUND: |
|
|
| |
On November 1, 2010 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) and the Chinese
Academy of Sciences organized a bilateral video-teleconference (VTC) entitled
Strengthening the Culture of Responsibility with
Respect to Dual Use Research and Biosecurity.
This event was a satellite session of the international workshop
Trends
in Science and Technology Relevant to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention
in Beijing, China. The VTC was held in cooperation with the InterAcademy Panel:
The Global Network of Science Academies, the International Union of Microbiological Societies, the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology,
and the National Research Council of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
The aim of the VTC was to raise awareness of the dual use issue among workshop participants, to engage participants in a discussion on fostering
a culture of responsibility, and to inform the NSABB on the views of these international scientists and policy experts from over 30 countries.
|
|
|
| |
The one-hour VTC linked participants at the workshop site in Beijing with key experts in Bethesda, MD. Issues discussed included
the principal features or attributes of a culture of responsibility and strategies for promoting, creating, and sustaining a culture
of responsibility. The archived version of the VTC is available at:

Co-Moderators: NSABB: Dr. David Franz, CAS: Dr. Li Huang |
|
|
| |
|
1. The NSABB has been tasked with developing guidance on how to enhance the culture of responsibility with regard to biosecurity concerns
in general and in high containment laboratories. What are the attributes of a strong culture of responsibility in this regard? |
|
|
| |
|
2. What are some of the ways that Principal Investigators/lab leaders can strengthen a culture of responsibility regarding biosecurity? |
|
|
| |
|
3. How can the senior leaders of research institutions help to foster a culture of responsibility regarding biosecurity? |
|
|
| |
|
4. What are effective ways to educate scientists about the importance of biosecurity? For example, should it be tied in with education about biosafety? |
|
|
| |
|
5. Do you think codes of conduct are a useful tool for strengthening the culture of responsibility and raising awareness about dual use research and biosecurity issues?
What is the best way to encourage acceptance of and adherence to a code of conduct in a research organization? |

DOES YOUR RESEARCH RAISE SECURITY CONCERNS? STRATEGIES FOR PROMOTING RESPONSIBLE RESEARCH IN THE LIFE SCIENCES
ARCHIVED WEBCAST |
|
|
| |
Background:
|
|
|
| |
On September 22, 2010, the U.S. government hosted the second in a series of Internet-based meetings aimed at engaging the international
community by region. The focus of this event was Europe. It was hosted by the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) in
partnership with the European Molecular Biology Organization, the European Science Foundation, the European Society of Clinical Microbiology
and Infectious Diseases, and Institut Pasteur. This webcast included both presentations and discussions by European and U.S. scientists on
dual use research with a special focus on antimicrobial resistance and synthetic biology. Participants also examined various approaches
to promoting the responsible conduct of research with dual use potential. The event was interactive, with panelists responding to questions submitted by viewers.

ARCHIVED VIDEOCAST |
|
| |
|
| |
Background:
|
|
|
| |
On October 22, 2009, the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) sponsored its first regional Webinar on dual use research, hosted by the US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB). The goal of the event was to foster international engagement of life sciences researchers, biosafety and biosecurity experts, government policy officials, and ethicists on the issue of dual use life sciences research.
|
|
|
| |
Effective global dialogue on concerns and issues regarding dual use life sciences research is key to achieving an effective balance between public health priorities and national security concerns.
Numerous national- and international-level activities are currently underway to raise awareness of the risks posed by dual use life sciences research as well as to address or manage these risks while,
at the same time, promoting responsible life sciences research. This international Videocast focused on the Americas is the first in a series of internet-based meetings aimed at engaging the
international community by region. To learn more about dual use research visit: Dual Use Research.
