Counterterrorism

This book inventories federal agency counterterrorism R&D funding patterns, programs, and priority-setting and co-ordination mechanisms, and assesses changes proposed. It describes developments in federal organisations to set priorities and co-ordinate R&D in the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Office of Homeland Security, and related bodies. It also describes how R&D would be managed and co-ordinated in major legislative proposals to create a homeland security department, and assesses these arrangements.
