- The Office of The Biological Policy Staff (ISN/BPS) works to impede and roll back the threat of acquisition or use of biological weapons by state and non-state actors, oversees U.S. implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention, and manages a wide range of biological policy issues at the intersection of national security, public health, and science. Another key area is strengthening the operationalization of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Mechanism for Investigation of Alleged Use of Chemical and Biological Weapons to facilitate any potential investigations of the alleged use of biological weapons.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
