A growing coalition of funders is stepping up to ensure that scientific innovation doesn’t come at the cost of safety and security. Representatives from influential, non-governmental funding organizations who advance critical life science research around the world met virtually on May 9, 2025 for the second Bio Funders Forum.
Executive Order 14292 on “Improving the Safety and Security of Biological Research" suggests some promising actions toward protecting modern bioscience and biotechnology against misuse. However, the order threatens to undermine U.S. capabilities to protect the American public from biological threats by requiring a pause in gain-of-function research.
NTI applauds today’s announcement that the International Negotiating Body of the World Health Organization (WHO) has reached a deal on the language of the Pandemic Accord. Pandemics continue to pose a global threat, and this proposed agreement is proof that the world can unify to reduce the most catastrophic risks.
