Program Narratives
Mission— Life Sciences (Basic Research)
This Project (LF1) focuses on fundamental efforts to understand living systems' responses to biological or chemical agents to support detection, protection, diagnostics, and medical treatment. Research focuses on studying factors that influence the behavior of chemicals, toxins, and pathogens in relation to the host or target. Understanding host/agent interactions can drive the exploration of novel approaches to detect, diagnose or protect against threats. Research also focuses on medical countermeasures for improved efficacy against a wide array of current and future threat agents. This project is a key enabler supporting the Understand, Protect, and Mitigate portfolios.
Mission— Physical Sciences (Basic Research)
This Project (PS1) advances fundamental scientific knowledge in physical science areas that include chemistry, physics, materials science, environmental science, and nanotechnology that could potentially lead to transformational chemical and biological (CB) defensive capabilities enhancing warfighter performance and safety. This project is a key enabler supporting the Understand, Protect, and Mitigate portfolios.
Mission— Chemical and Biological Defense Program
This program element (PE) resources basic research efforts directed at promoting theoretical and experimental research in Life and Physical Sciences. These efforts are part of an integrated portfolio addressing emerging chemical and biological (CB) threats, and are a key enabler supporting the Understand, Protect, and Mitigate portfolios. Basic research focuses on pursuing fundamental science to advance a greater understanding of threats, improve situational awareness of emerging threats, and support transformative research in emerging research areas that can potentially foster paradigm shifts in the CB defense research arena to a rapid response capability. Individual projects include: - Life Sciences (LF1): Fundamental efforts to understand living systems' response to biological or chemical agents to support detection, diagnostics, protection, and medical treatment (e.g., microbiology, biochemistry, pathogenic mechanisms, cell and molecular biology, immunology, nanoscale science, and information science). - Physical Sciences (PS1): Fundamental scientific phenomena to support the investigation of physical and chemical properties and interactions for enhanced functionalities important to detection, diagnostics, protection, and decontamination (e.g., chemistry, physics, materials science, nanotechnologies, nanoscale science, and environmental science).
