CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE: Coordination of Nonmedical Chemical and Biological R&D Programs

Abstract

In response to your request, we examined the coordination of federal R&D efforts to develop nonmedical technology related to CB defense. Specifically, we (1) identified federal programs that conduct nonmedical CB defense-related R&D and (2) described the existing mechanisms for coordinating these programs. A companion report, Chemical and Biological Defense: Program Planning and Evaluation Should Follow Results Act Framework (GAO/NSIAD-99-159, Aug. 16, 1999), examines the extent of DOD's application of the Government Performance and Results Act's outcome-oriented principles to the CB Defense Program.
