00 2025-03-05 Introduced in House 2025-05-13T21:28:02Z <p><strong>Risky Research Review Act</strong></p><p>This bill establishes the Life Sciences Research Security Board to oversee the award of federal funding for high-risk life sciences research.&nbsp;<em>High-risk life sciences research </em>means&nbsp;the study of an organism,&nbsp;virus, or related product that could be misapplied to pose a significant threat to the public or could enhance the transmissibility or&nbsp;virulence of certain high-risk&nbsp;pathogens (e.g., Ebola).</p><p>Specifically, the bill establishes the board as an independent agency that must review proposed high-risk life sciences research, determine whether a federal agency may award funding for the research, and determine minimum required controls for funded research. Entities that are seeking federal funding must attest to whether their research is high-risk life sciences research. Agencies must certify the validity of these attestations and submit proposed high-risk life sciences research to the board. Agencies must also notify the board of intended awards for other life sciences research for potential review.</p><p>In making&nbsp;its determinations, the board must consider specified&nbsp;factors,&nbsp;including whether the benefits of the research outweigh the&nbsp;risks. The bill prohibits agencies from awarding federal funding for high-risk life sciences research without approval of the board or for life sciences research currently under board review. The board may also&nbsp;review awards that were made&nbsp;before the bill’s enactment.</p><p>Entities that fail to properly&nbsp;attest to the nature of their research may lose their eligibility for funding. Additionally, agency employees who fail to comply with the bill's requirements are subject to disciplinary action. </p>
