The Biosecurity Science & Technology Review Department is offering this grant to establish a proof of concept for an International Advisory Body. This grant is for the critical purpose of addressing the security implications arising from rapid advances in biotechnology, especially synthetic biology. With these powerful technologies becoming increasingly available and accessible to researchers and nontraditional consumers beyond formal lab settings, it is vital for the States Parties to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC) to fully grasp these developments. The advisory body, supported by this grant, will facilitate this understanding, safeguarding global well-being against evolving biological risks.

| Description: | Rapid advances in biotechnology and related sciences are creating new benefits – and risks – for security and other aspects of our well-being. As these biotechnologies and capabilities – particularly those related to synthetic biology – become increasingly available and accessible, not only to researchers but also to nontraditional consumers outside of formal laboratory settings and associated oversight, it is important for the States Parties to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC) to understand the security implications of those developments. |
