CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (BASIC RESEARCH)
Abstract
Advances fundamental knowledge and promotes theoretical and experimental research in life and physical sciences. The Projects within this BA reflect the research areas of Life Sciences(LF1) (e.g. microbiology, biochemistry, pathogenic mechanisms, cell and molecular biology, immunology, and information science) which focus on fundamental efforts to understand living systems' response to biological or chemical agents, to support detection, diagnostics, protection, and medical treatment. The projects within in this BA also include efforts in Physical Sciences (PS1) (e.g. chemistry, physics, materials science, and environmental science) which focus on fundamental scientific phenomena. These support investigation of physical and chemical properties and interactions for enhanced functionalities important to detection, protection, and decontamination. BA1 also supports Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) efforts through the National Research Council with Post-Doctorate research associate program, a two week summer camp for high school students and teachers, and Military Internships at West Point. The projects in this PE are placed in BA1 because they are basic research efforts directed towards non-specific or non-unique military applications. Basic research technological breakthroughs support applied research (PE 0602384BP) activities.
