Biotech Futures Act

The Biotech Futures Act requires the Secretary of Defense to create a detailed roadmap for the Department of Defense’s biotechnology efforts. This roadmap must include specific goals, funding estimates, workforce planning (including position needs and training), risk assessments, and international collaboration strategies, with clear timelines for each element. The bill mandates annual updates to Congress and public posting of an unclassified version online. It directly affects how the DoD manages its biotechnology programs, personnel, and partnerships across military branches and defense agencies.
