Cross-Border Biological Threat Screening – a Priority
The US has been promoting cross-border threat screening for biological agents. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) announced $35 million in funding opportunities for a new DHS Center of Excellence for Cross-Border Threat Screening and Supply Chain Defense (CBTS).
Accredited United States colleges and universities may submit proposals as the Center lead or as an individual partner to work with the lead institution in support of the Center’s activities.
According to the DHS S&T announcement, the DHS intends to fund this new Center of Excellence for 10 years through a cooperative agreement.
