A research project is considered dual-use in nature if the methodologies, materials or results could be used for public harm. To ensure research performed at the NIH is conducted and published in a timely manner with due consideration given to experiments potentially having dual-use concerns, completing RD/HPRD Dual Use-Screening Survey Form is part of the electronic registration process. An affirmative answer will not delay the progress of research, but indicates that further review and consideration may be warranted as the research advances.
