Welcome to OBA
  The NIH Office of Biotechnology Activities (OBA) promotes science, safety, and ethics in biotechnology through advancement of knowledge, enhancement of public understanding, and development of sound public policies. OBA accomplishes its mission through analysis, deliberation, and communication of scientific, medical, ethical, legal, and social issues.  
  OBA fulfills its mission through four important programs:  
  Recombinant DNA (RAC)  
  Genetics, Health, and Society (GTR and GWAS)  
  Dual Use Research (NSABB)  
  Clinical Research Policy Analysis and Coordination (CRpac)  
  There is a separate home page for each of these programs. They can be reached from the links above, and they are also available from any page in the OBA website by using the items on the top menu bar.  
  For more information on OBA activities and initiatives, subscribe to OBA News.
