Public Comments
NIH and its partners encourage any interested individual to sign up to provide oral comments during the listening session. All comments offered at the listening session are welcome and will be considered, including topics covered at previous sessions. Feedback on the following topics is particularly encouraged.
- The utility of agent risk groups (RGs) as a starting point in determining appropriate containment for specific experiments
- Opportunities to improve IBC functions and advance transparency
- Committee activities: Options for expedited reviews (e.g., chair/less than full committee, BSO) including situations or types of research, if any, where expedited reviews would be appropriate
- Roles and responsibilities of institutions, IBCs, investigators, and NIH to strengthen compliance and transparency
- Requirements for membership (e.g., flexibility in required expertise, local members)
- Requirements for improved public access to meetings and minutes
- Requirements for reporting of incidents or violations to NIH (and the threshold for incident reporting)
- Ways to strengthen coordination between IBCs and other institutional review bodies (e.g., Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees)
