Promotion and Protection Strategies

Abstract

The Promotion and Protection Strategies program executes activities providing visibility, fostering partnerships, incentivizing industry transition partners, and supporting developmental ecosystem as a nucleus of defense industrial base for biotechnology. For the Manufacturing Enabled by Modular Bioindustrial and Reusable (MEMBR) assets initiative, the program will bring together the Acquisition (e.g., Program Executive Officers, Program Managers, technology warrant officers, etc.), Policy, and Research and Engineering communities to establish a Biotechnology Acquisition and Investment Coordination Effort (BAICE). The BAICE will ensure integration of innovative biomanufactured products into DoD’s systems and platforms through holistic investment, research & development, and acquisition strategies. The BAICE will create the Department’s first coordinating body at DoD to centralize acquisition efforts for biotechnology. By providing visibility, fostering partnerships across DoD, and incentivizing industry transition partners, the BAICE will support a developmental ecosystem in which new technologies are not only pushed to higher budget activities from lower ones, but where personnel and industry partners at higher budget activities pull on technologies being developed at lower ones. This will serve as the nucleus of a defense industrial base for biotechnology that delivers innovative biomanufactured products into DoD’s systems and platforms.
