The RAC conducts all of its meetings in public and webcasts the proceedings in order to inform researchers and the public. The current mission of the RAC is appropriate and is being met through activities such as: 1) public review and discussion of 16 human gene transfer protocols that raise significant new issues or concerns; 2) public review of rDNA experiments under the NIH Guidelines; 3) public consideration of significant policy concerns affecting the conduct of recombinant DNA research; 4) scientific symposia on immunotherapy for cancer and a policy conference on the use of sham neurosurgical procedures in clinical trials; and provided input into OBA reports on timely scientific and policy topics that are widely disseminated. e03f8581-f210-404a-9dfb-f65a80c555e3 Not Available e3102b97-0297-4551-bb9c-b9919bee5c3b 43e72a74-837d-4f4e-adc4-ee1d15ceea64 42e274b8-285d-4f13-b684-423a77380273 2010-10-01 2011-09-30 2013-07-09 http://explore.data.gov/resource/datasets/c5i3-bb9j Gannon (J.)
