Policy Issues
Patients with genetic disorders and members of the public have diverse about germline genome editing.
Policy Issues
Most ethical discussions about genome editing center on human germline editing because changes are passed down to future generations.
Policy Issues
Genome editing is currently being applied to research on cancer, mental health, rare diseases, and many other disease areas.
Policy Issues
Scientists have edited genomes for many years, but CRISPR technology has improved the speed, cost, accuracy, and efficiency of genome editing
​
Policy Issues
Genome editing is a method that lets scientists change the DNA of many organisms, including plants, bacteria, and animals.
Policy Issues
Synthetic biology is a field of science that involves redesigning organisms for useful purposes by engineering them to have new abilities.
Policy Issues
Payers such as insurance companies and Medicare need systematic ways of evaluating genetic tests for reimbursement.
Policy Issues
The Genome Statute and Legislation Database is comprised of state statutes and bills introduced during U.S. state legislative sessions.
Policies and Guidance
This page provides an overview of Resource Sharing Plans, a required document in most NIH funding applications. Most applicants for NIH funding must provide a Resource Sharing Plan (RSP) documenting plans for sharing resources that result from their federally funded work. NIH Policies that govern the sharing of resources include the NIH Model Organism Sharing Policy and the NIH Research Tools Policy.
Policy Issues
Informed consent shows respect for personal autonomy and is an important ethical requirement in research.
