The information below draws from and summarizes the recommendations relevant to CDC’s role within the Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP). This resource is designed to:

  • Outline actions that have been identified to address each one
  • Provide an update on progress towards implementation

The Division of Select Agents and Toxins (DSAT), in conjunction with its Agriculture Select Agent Service (AgSAS) colleagues, continues to work diligently to make these improvements and will provide periodic updates to this page as the initiative progresses.
