Feb 2026	Sentinel Bio		—	Biosecurity	sentinel_bio	We engaged independent contractors to support the early development of BioTrust, a proposed third-party verification system for the bioeconomy. BioTrust would function as a passport for researchers accessing dual-use biotechnology services, such as AI models, synthetic nucleic acids, and cloud labs, by centralizing identity verification and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) checks to ensure consistency across individual providers. These contractors will conduct foundational research, stakeholder outreach, and technical scoping over a 10-week exploratory period. Their goals include building an initial coalition of supporters across AI labs, synthesis providers, and academic institutions; conducting exploratory conversations with providers and university procurement offices; and developing a prototype of the verification API.

Sep 2024	Sentinel Bio		$286,619	AI × bio, Biosecurity	sentinel_bio	We provided $286,619 to a biosecurity research team to assess how AI-based Biological Design Tools (BDTs) could increase biosecurity risks. The project partner will create a risk assessment framework that categorizes varying biological types by risk level and evaluates under which specific circumstances they might meaningfully advance concerning capabilities. We expect this work to close critical knowledge gaps about how AI-based tools contribute to biosecurity risks. The project aims to produce clear, accessible guides for policymakers and inform more targeted mitigation strategies.

This work aims to increase the prevalence of high-quality customer screening while reducing administrative burden. The project is being carried out in consultation with leading providers of nucleic acid synthesis and biosecurity screening tools. We expect this project will advance frameworks for customer verification that balance security with scientific access. We also expect to explore the prospects of developing an end-to-end KYC service that could be taken up by an existing organization or launched as a standalone venture.
Jul 2024	Sentinel Bio		$1,800	Biosecurity	sentinel_bio	We commissioned a $1,800 qualitative study to research the political drivers of pandemic prevention.
