Developing Norms for the Provision of Biological Laboratories in Low-Resource Contexts
On June 27-28, 2018, the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies) convened an international workshop in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on developing norms for the provision of laboratories in low-resource contexts. The U.S. Department of State's Biosecurity Engagement Program requested that the National Academies organize this workshop to engage an international group of organizations that provide funding for construction, upgrades, and maintenance of biological laboratories in countries without the means to build such labs themselves. Twenty-one people from 19 organizations participated. The intent was to advance the conversation about the identification and application of guiding principles and common norms for use by these organizations in their grants, partnerships, and aid. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Biosecurity Challenges of the Global Expansion of High-Containment Biological Laboratories
During July 10-13, 2011, 68 participants from 32 countries gathered in Istanbul, Turkey for a workshop organized by the United States National Research Council on Anticipating Biosecurity Challenges of the Global Expansion of High-containment Biological Laboratories. The United States Department of State's Biosecurity Engagement Program sponsored the workshop, which was held in partnership with the Turkish Academy of Sciences. The international workshop examined biosafety and biosecurity issues related to the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of high-containment biological laboratories- equivalent to United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention biological safety le...
Biological Laboratories
As the number of biological labs increases, so do the safety risks for lab workers. Data on these risks -- collected through a safety reporting system (SRS) from reports of hazards, incidents, and accidents -- can support safety efforts. However, no such system exists for all biological labs, and a limited system, managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), applies to only a subset of these labs. Given the increase in biological labs and therefore risks, it is essential to understand the sources of risk and how to communicate them. This book examines the collection of data on accidents, incidents, and hazards in biological labs, that can help identify accident precursors. If the precursors can be identified, communicated, and eliminated, the occurrence of accidents, in particular those resulting in injury or death, might be prevented.
Oversight of High-Containment Biological Laboratories
The fed. gov¿t. responded to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the subsequent anthrax attacks with increased focus on and funding for biodefense. High-containment labs. (HCL) play a critical role in the biodefense effort, offering the hope of better responses to an attack and a better understanding of the threat posed by bioterrorism. However, they also could increase the risk of a biological attack by serving as a potential source of materials or training. Policymakers have become increasingly interested in the oversight of these facilities following reports of accidents, regulatory noncompliance, and community resistance. A key task for policymakers is to define their goals for enhancing oversight of HCL. Illustrations
