S3: Science Safety Security

Safe and successful scientific research protects the nation and the world from infectious diseases, weapons of mass destruction, and environmental changes. Emerging biological technologies are and will continue to transform the foundation of our physical world to benefit every American. The S3 project is a collaboration between U.S. government departments and agencies to further biorisk management education across a range of stakeholders.

Regulations, guidance, and best practice frameworks help to maintain safety and security throughout the research enterprise. The resources provided here will give you an introduction to the breadth of these policies to promote communication, transparency, and awareness about biosafety, biocontainment, and laboratory biosecurity issues and activities in laboratories.
