Homeland Security Research and Development Funding, Organization, and Oversight

Abstract

CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Order Code RS21270 Updated February 24, 2005 Development Funding, Organization, and Oversight Genevieve J. Knezo Specialist in Science and Technology Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division P.L. 107-296, the Homeland Security Act, consolidated some R&D in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), whose S&T Directorate s FY2006 R&D budget, according to OMB, is almost $1.4 billion, almost 20% more than FY2005, enacted. This is the largest percentage increase for any federal agency R&D mission. (The increase is less, about 3%, if funding for TSA, FY2005, is included in the calculation.) DHS is mandated to coordinate total federal agency homeland security R&D, which was requested at $4.0 billion. Policy issues include priority-setting within DHS and other agencies, performance monitoring, and interagency coordination. This report will be updated.
