Draft:Riley Taitingfong
Submission declined on 2 March 2024 by Velella (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Riley Taitingfong (Chamorro) is an American social scientist. She is a postdoc in the Native Nations Institute at the University of Arizona[2] and Harvard University.[3] [4] She studies gene drive systems, with a focus on Indigenous data sovereignty and benefit sharing for biomedical research.[5]
Taitingfong has been an advocate for the community-based participatory research or CBPR model as a strategy for increasing collaboration between the field of genome engineering and Indigenous communities.[6] She has also examined the need for careful, inclusive deliberation in developing a gene drive project registry to balance transparency, stakeholder engagement, and ethical considerations, based on findings from multidisciplinary experts.[7][8]
Research
[edit]Taitingfong's research explores the governance of gene drive technology in conservation, identifying principles to address complex social, ecological, and ethical considerations necessary for its responsible application. These principles emphasize broad and empowered engagement, public acceptance, comprehensive decision-making, collaboration across states and international actors, adherence to ethical frameworks, incorporation of diverse expertise, and responsible self-regulation by developers.[9]
Professional Activities
[edit]Riley Taitingfong is an advocate for Indigenous language revival, actively participating in the Bevacqua Chamorro Language Immersion Program in both Guam and the United States. This involvement underscores her commitment to preserving and promoting the Chamorro language, playing a significant role in efforts to revitalize and sustain Indigenous languages and cultures.[10]
