Access to experts from a wide variety of technical and scientific backgrounds can be acquired through the "Roster of Experts on Biosafety" that is available through the BCH.

To facilitate countries’ access to relevant expertise when needed, the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety established the “Roster of Experts on Biosafety”. The aim of this Roster is to "provide advice and other support, as appropriate and upon request, to developing country Parties and Parties with economies in transition, to conduct risk assessment, make informed decisions, develop national human resources and promote institutional strengthening, associated with the transboundary movements of living modified organisms".

Information on individuals listed in the Roster of Experts on Biosafety is accessible through the BCH. As of August 2012, the Roster of Experts on Biosafety contained 130 experts from 41 countries.
