Biotechnology Capabilities for National Security Needs

Rolling Submissions

Description

The biotechnology and life science enterprise is highly distributed, multi-disciplinary, and international, which limits the identification, adoption, and influence of specific biotechnologies to meet national security needs. This committee will identify advanced biotechnologies that show promising capabilities to meet national security needs and assess early-stage research that may lead to the implementation of new or enhanced biotechnologies. This committee will contribute to the Standing Committee on Advances and National Secu...

JohnsonGrantor Emailkberger@nas.eduOther Grantor InformationThe National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide independent, objective advice to inform policy with evidence, spark progress and innovation, and confront challenging issues for the benefit of society. They are comprised of three academies: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Medicine. The organization convenes hundreds of conferences, workshops, and symposia annually, bringing together leading experts from academia, public, and private sectors. Their work focuses on providing high-quality, evidence-based consensus on complex scientific, engineering, and health-related challenges. They produce peer-reviewed reports, publish scientific journals, and serve as a trusted source of expert advice for policymaking. The National Academies mobilize approximately 6,000 top experts each year who volunteer their time and knowledge to conduct policy studies, workshops, and other activities aimed at addressing critical issues facing the nation and world.

Additional InformationThis initiative involves the establishment of an ad hoc study committee by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, associated with the Standing Committee on Biotechnology Capabilities and National Security Needs, to produce an annual consensus report aligning biotechnologies with national security needs.
