Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Intragovernmental Select Agents and Toxins Technical Advisory Committee (ISATTAC) is a working group of subject matter experts from the Federal Government formed by the CDC Director to provide recommendations to the CDC's Division of Select Agents and Toxins in three technical areas: 1) review requests for exclusion of attenuated strains, 2) review requests to conduct restricted experiments, and 3) review select agents and toxins. The Committee conducts a biannual review, required by the Select Agent Rule, of the Select Agents and Toxins list for HHS. Expert input from the ISATTAC and public comments are the primary inputs into this process. |
