DHS has 3 FFRDCs: HSOAC, HSSEDI, and NBACC.


What is NBACC?


Battelle National Biodefense Institute is the DHS lab to prevent bioterrorism

HSOAC is circling down the drain.


Curious - why do you say this? are you on the FFRDC side or the DHS S&T side?


S&T. Lots of doubt about the value from what I hear… I don’t work in the PMO, so I might wrong.


I hear bad things from the FFRDC side as well. It just has not gone well for either party.


This is all very sad. RAND’s CEO did a lot of great things for the think tank and it’s all imploding because he was an advisor to Biden and Trump has an axe to grind. I’m not sure how he navigates this given the anti-Biden resentment that will likely exist for the next 3 years.


That's not what's happening. This is happening to everyone who does research or consulting.

This is a GOP hit job.


Now explain why this is happening to all of the other organizations in your field, too.


This isn’t happening to other FFRDCs and USRCs

Begun in the sense that they’ve been announced, but I don’t know if people have been laid off or moved.
