The National Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative (NBBI) initiative is designed to harness biotechnology and biomanufacturing for breakthroughs in health, agriculture, and environmental sustainability, aiming to strengthen supply chains and create jobs. It was launched through an executive order to ensure U.S. leadership in biotechnology, focusing on innovation, safety, and security.
Goals
- Grow domestic biomanufacturing capacity to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
- Train a diverse, skilled workforce in biotechnology and biomanufacturing.
- Streamline regulatory processes for biotechnology products to speed market entry while ensuring safety.
- Advance biosafety and biosecurity to mitigate risks associated with biotechnology.
- Foster international cooperation to address global challenges through biotechnology.
Organization
The NBBI is coordinated across multiple federal agencies, with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) playing a central role. Leadership for specific components may vary, but generally, it involves high-level officials from relevant departments. Funding comes from various federal sources, aligned with budget allocations for related programs.
Partners
- Office of Science and Technology Policy
- Department of Health and Human Services
- Department of Defense
- Department of Energy
- Department of Agriculture
- National Science Foundation
- National Institutes of Health
History
Established in September 2022 by Executive Order 14081 signed by President Joe Biden, the NBBI was a response to the need for a robust national strategy in biotechnology to enhance the U.S. bioeconomy. It's part of a broader vision to leverage biotechnology for societal benefits, responding to lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic regarding supply chain vulnerabilities and the potential of biotech for rapid innovation.
Funding
While specific initial funding wasn't detailed, the initiative involves significant investments across multiple federal agencies. For instance, the Department of Defense has committed over $1 billion for bio-industrial domestic manufacturing infrastructure, and there are other investments like $40 million from HHS for biomanufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients. Funding is ongoing and part of the annual federal budgeting process.
Implementation
Implementation involves:
- Development of new bio-manufacturing facilities and capabilities.
- Expansion of educational and training programs for biotechnology.
- Creation of regulatory frameworks that support innovation while ensuring safety.
- Investment in R&D for biosafety and biosecurity innovations.
- No defined end date; it's designed as a long-term initiative.
