Laboratory Resource Management
Abstract
The Defense Laboratory Office provides advocacy, strategic planning, and policy for the DoD's in-house laboratories. The DoD Laboratory Enterprise consists of more than 60 laboratories with approximately 67,000 employees (approximately 40,000 of whom are scientists and engineers). The Defense Laboratory Office develops plans and investment strategies for laboratory infrastructure, technology transfer programs, and personnel development. Section 211 of the FY 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) also transferred the management of the laboratory demonstration program at Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratories (STRLs) from the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD(P&R)) to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (ASD(R&E)). Section 218 of the FY 2018 NDAA amended the authority by redesignating management to the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)).
