Draft Report of the Working Group to Establish a NExTRAC Framework

  • Draft Report of the Working Group to Establish a NExTRAC Framework
  • The draft report of the Working Group to Establish a NExTRAC Framework was prepared in response to the charge given by the NIH Director at the December 2019 NExTRAC meeting to:
    • “Describe effective approaches for prospectively identifying emerging biotechnologies or specific applications with reasonable potential to have important scientific, safety, or ethical considerations
    • Conceptualize a framework for NExTRAC deliberation of issues surrounding emerging biotechnologies and applications, including:
      • Guiding principles for when an emerging biotechnology or its applications would significantly benefit from further public deliberation
      • A potential process by which the NExTRAC will consider or evaluate any given emerging biotechnology or its applications”
