This funding level represents an increase of $57.3M from the FY 2021 Enacted. S&T’s Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) efforts are critical to maintaining threat awareness, delivering mitigation strategies, and creating novel technology and approaches for the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Components and partners in the homeland security enterprise (HSE). S&T’s budget supports Component capability gap requirements and aligns with Administration and DHS priorities. S&T focuses its resources on rapidly transitioning existing and new technology capabilities to operations in order to help the HSE respond more quickly to emerging threats. S&T leverages existing technologies to expedite the development of vital capabilities critical to mission operations. Advanced technologies, knowledge products, technical analyses, laboratories, and university-based research contributes to the effectiveness and efficiency of DHS operations and to the safety and interoperability of the first responder community.

With much at stake, the Act provides for unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability so that the public will be able to know how, when, and where tax dollars are being spent. Department of Defense (DoD) Implementation The Recovery Act includes approximately $7.4 billion in Defense-related appropriations, which accounts for less than 1 percent of the total $787 billion stimulus package signed on February 17, 2009, by President Obama. The Department intends to spend this funding with unprecedented full transparency and accountability. A website, www.Recovery.gov, is the main vehicle to provide every citizen with the ability to monitor the progress of the recovery. The DoD also has a website: http://www.defenselink.mil/recovery, which links to Recovery.gov. As stated on www.Recovery.gov, the purpose of the Recovery Act is to create and save jobs, jumpstart our economy, address unfunded facility requirements, and build the foundation for long-term economic growth.

  • 2019 Biodefense Public Report Implementation of the National Biodefense Strategy PREFACE
    2019 Biodefense Public Report Implementation of the National Biodefense Strategy PREFACE The National Biodefense Strategy (NBS or the Strategy) was released on September 18, 2018 and guides the U.S. government’s efforts to reduce the risk of, prepare for, respond to, and recover from biological incidents, whether naturally occurring, deliberate, or accidental in origin. National Security Presidential Memorandum-14 (NSPM-14) directs implementation of the Strategy, including the development of this Biodefense Public Report. This report does not primarily address activities related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic because the data collection period concluded well before the HHS Secretary’s declaration of a public health emergency regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the content of this report is diverse and highlights some of the efforts across the U.S. government to address all biological threats. Development of this report followed the timeline laid out in NSPM-14. Work began among federal departments and agencies to collect biodefense data in late 2018, the first year to capture biodefense programs and activities across the federal government, and continued through the first half of 2019. This report describes a sampling of specific achievements and programs undertaken by federal agencies that reduce the risk of biological threats to the American people. In addition to the specific programs captured here, many other activities continue to be implemented across the federal government to protect the United States from a wide range of biological threats. Some of the efforts that have been described within this report, and many activities that have not been reported here, support the ongoing COVID-19 response.
