DURC
Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC) is defined as life sciences research that, based on current understanding, can be reasonably anticipated to provide knowledge, information, products, or technologies that could be directly misapplied to pose a significant threat with broad potential consequences to public health and safety, agricultural crops and other plants, animals, the environment, materiel, or national security.
At VUMC, the Director for Research Resources & Strategy, Susan Meyn, serves as the Institutional Contact for Dual Use Research (ICDUR).
