"P.L. 107-296, the Homeland Security Act, consolidated some research and development (R & D) in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), whose FY2007 R & D budget (excluding management/procurement) was requested at $1.1 billion, about 10% less than FY2006, and represents the first decline in DHS's R & D funding since the agency started funding R & D in 2002. DHS is mandated to coordinate all federal agency homeland security R & D, which was requested at about $5.1 billion. Legislation to improve implementation of DHS's R & D programs includes H.R. 1817, H.R. 4941, H.R. 4942, and H.R. 5814. Policy issues related to DHS's R & D include priority-setting, eliminating possible waste in research and technology programs, and improving program performance results."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
