BNBI MISSION

• Battelle National Biodefense Institute (BNBI)
  manages and operates the National Biodefense
  Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) for
  the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
  The Center invests in scientific programs that
  are critical to national defense against
  bioterrorism. NBACC is a Federally Funded
  Research and Development Center (FFRDC) and is
  the first national laboratory established by the
  DHS Science Technology directorate.
• BNBI/NBACC is focused on developing and applying
  methods to identify the means, method, and
  forensic signatures associated with a biological
  agent associated with a biocrime or bioterror
  investigation for the purposes of attribution,
  and to help guide the nations investments in
  vaccines, drugs, detectors, and other
  countermeasures to protect human health and
  agriculture against biological terrorism by
  improving understanding of potential bioterrorism
  threats.

NBFAC MISSION

• The NBACC National Bioforensic Analysis Center
  (NBFAC) conducts analysis of evidentiary material
  from biocrime and bioterrorists investigations to
  attain data for attribution through determination
  of the source, origin, and method of the attack.
  Designated by Homeland Security Presidential
  Directive 10, NBFAC is the lead federal facility
  to conduct and facilitate the technical forensic
  analysis and interpretation of materials
  associated with a biocrime or bioterror
  investigation, in support of the appropriate lead
  federal agency.

NBTCC MISSION

• The NBACC National Biological Threat
  Characterization Center (NBTCC) conducts studies
  and laboratory experiments to better understand
  current and future biological threats to assess
  vulnerabilities and conduct risk assessments and
  to determine potential impacts to guide the
  development of countermeasures such as detectors,
  medicines, vaccines, and decontamination
  technologies. Biennially the NBTCC delivers to
  the President the Bioterrorism Risk Assessmenta
  comprehensive evaluation of the risks to the
  Nation posed by bioterrorism threat agents.

CORE MISSION

• Coordination of Outreach, Reachback, and
  Evaluation (CORE) is designated as the NBACC lead
  for surveillance of the rapid progress in science
  and technology and provides direct scientific
  support to DHS. CORE combines scientific
  learnings with NBACC knowledge for identification
  and evaluation of emerging trends that may alter
  our nations understanding of the risk associated
  with a particular biothreat. Communication of
  the identified advancements facilitates
  integration of new information into existing and
  future strategies designed to deliver the science
  critical to defend the nation against
  bioterrorism.
