The CWMD ARI Program aligns with and supports the FY2020-24 DHS Strategic Plan, Goal 1: Counter Terrorism and Homeland Security Threats, and Objective 1.4: Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction and Emerging Threats. ObjectivesThe ARI Program has two primary objectives: 1) Engage with the academic community to advance fundamental knowledge in CBRN sciences applicable to CWMD with emphasis on basic and applied research to solve long-term, high-risk challenges; and 2) Develop human capital for CBRN science and engineering professions. Furthermore, the program works to sustain a long-term commitment to basic research in these fields and coordinates related research efforts across the Federal Government.
