Laboratory Resource Management
Abstract
The Laboratories & Personnel Office (L&PO) provides advocacy, strategic planning, and policy for the DoD's laboratories. The DoD Laboratory Enterprise consists of more than 60 laboratories with approximately 67,000 employees (approximately 50,000 of whom are scientists and engineers). L&PO develops proposals and investment strategies for laboratory infrastructure, technology transfer programs, and personnel development. Section 211 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2017 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 Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)). Section 218 of the NDAA for FY 2018 amended the authority by re-designating management to the USD(R&E).
