Thank you. I tend to speak quickly.
The advisory committee meets in person once per year, and it often has an ad hoc meeting a second time per year that occurs virtually. It tends to provide advice more on pathogen risk assessments. We have pathogens that are broken down by risk group, so it tends to provide more information related to biocontainment and biosafety.
We are increasing the biosecurity expertise, however, on that panel as well so that it's better able to provide us with advice on that. As it relates to other biosecurity expertise, we often ask for input from other parts of the federal government.
It is there as a resource, and we use it frequently as we look at things like changes to our incident reporting and anything we're looking at in terms of changing pathogen status.
