Starting in fiscal year 2023, the Office of Management and Budget's Director, working with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, must each year analyze federal biodefense programs and build one combined biodefense budget. The Director must also create a single shared definition of "biodefense" so agencies agree on what counts. The analysis must show all biodefense funding by agency and category, explain how each program fits the National Biodefense Strategy, and go to Congress alongside the President's budget request.
For each fiscal year, beginning in fiscal year 2023, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in consultation with the Secretary* of Health and Human Services shall—
conduct a detailed and comprehensive analysis of Federal biodefense programs; and
develop an integrated biodefense budget submission.
In accordance with the National Biodefense Strategy, the Director shall develop and disseminate to all Federal departments and agencies a unified definition of the term “biodefense” to identify which programs and activities are included in the annual budget submission required under subsection (a).
The analysis required under subsection (a) shall include—
the display of all funds requested for biodefense activities, both mandatory and discretionary, by agency* and categorized by biodefense enterprise element, such as threat awareness, prevention, deterrence, preparedness, surveillance and detection, response, attribution (including bioforensic capabilities), recovery, and mitigation; and
detailed explanations of how each program and activity included aligns with biodefense goals and objectives as part of the National Biodefense Strategy required under section 104 of this title.
The Director, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall submit to Congress the analysis required under subsection (a) for a fiscal year concurrently with the President’s annual budget request for that fiscal year.
