Visibility Initiative for Responsible Science (VIRS): Biorisk Management Casebook and Case Studies
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The goal of the Visibility Initiative for Responsible Science (VIRS) is to share information about the value of biorisk management and how life science stakeholder organizations approach the issue. The Initiative aims to help organizations initiate biorisk management, learn from their peers, establish norms, and improve their practices over time. This digital repository contains the Biorisk Management Casebook which represents an effort by researchers and policy experts at Stanford University and Harvard University to compile and summarize case studies and interviews with leading organizations in biorisk management. The repository also contains eight case studies co-created by contributors from the studied organizations and researchers at Stanford University capturing the “how” and “why” of organizations’ biorisk management practices.
