Synopses & Reviews
Report reviews the Department of Defense’s biosurveillance-related programs, prioritizes missions and desired outcomes, evaluates how DoD programs contribute to these, and assesses the appropriateness of the funding system for biosurveillance.
Synopsis
In the context of the 2012 National Strategy for Biosurveillance, the Office of Management and Budget asked the Department of Defense (DoD) to review its biosurveillance programs. DoD biosurveillance supports three strategic missions and four desired outcomes. More near-real-time analysis and better internal and external integration could enhance its performance and value. Improvements are needed in key enablers, including funding.
