Acting Under Secretary for Science and Technology Julie Brewer outlines her goals for S&T innovations in 2025.
HSWERX, in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Technology Transfer & Commercialization Branch (T2C), will host the Spotlighting Innovation for Homeland Security: Strategic R&D Webinar Series, highlighting priority research areas for DHS. Each webinar will feature speakers from academia, government, national laboratories, and industry on their research and capabilities aligned with each DHS priority research area.
DHS S&T is further strengthening its counter-fentanyl partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) with a three-year, $2.8 million contract award.
DHS S&T released a new Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (LRBAA) 24-01, which is a standing, open invitation to the scientific and technical communities to propose research and development projects in support of our nation’s security.
This summer, S&T ONL hosted the event, a space where program managers from within S&T, and from across DHS’s operational components, could hear from leading S&T and DOE experts on future and current RDT&E capabilities, have meaningful discussions, and forge relationships to further innovation and collaboration.
This is the primary landing page for activities S&T is conducting to support emergency management.
Celebrating World Laboratory Day with an update on a new S&T and Department of Energy subject matter expert swap that will advance more than two decades of shared research goals.
An Institutional Review Board (IRB) is an objective third party tasked with protecting and managing risk to human subjects involved in research. TVTP grant programs that involve research require an IRB review. This document provides guidance to TVTP Grant Program participants by answering frequently asked questions about IRBs.
DHS S&T’s Plum Island Animal Disease Center Science Program’s disinfection and decontamination projects are a key component in responding to the threat of transboundary animal diseases (TADs). The goals of the disinfection and decontamination efforts are to prevent the introduction of TADs to North America, and provide tools to end users—first responders, veterinarians, the agriculture industry, decision-makers—to detect, mitigate, and decontaminate threats posed by TADs.
DHS S&T’s Plum Island Animal Disease Center Science Program’s Food, Agriculture, and Veterinary Defense (FAV-D) project coordinates research and development initiatives based on DHS component requirements. The primary goal of the FAV-D project is to prevent, protect, mitigate, and respond to the intentional or natural introduction of high-consequence transboundary animal diseases affecting food and agriculture.
