U.S. government will undertake a deliberative process to assess the
risks and benefits of certain gain-of-function (GOF) experiments with
influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses in order to develop a new Federal
policy regarding the funding of this research. During this deliberative
process, U.S. government agencies will institute a pause on the funding
of any new studies involving these experiments. For purposes of the
deliberative process and this funding pause, “GOF studies” refers to
scientific research that increases the ability of any of these
infectious agents to cause disease by enhancing its pathogenicity or by
increasing its transmissibility among mammals by respiratory droplets."
