In the United States, the National Biodefense Strategy is a White House-issued policy document laying out the federal government's approach to biodefense and biosecurity.
The document's most recent version was published in October 2022 by the Biden Administration as the "National Biodefense Strategy and Implementation Plan for Countering Biological Threats, Enhancing Pandemic Preparedness, and Achieving Global Health."[1] It aims "to create a world free from catastrophic biological incidents, laying out a set of objectives to effectively counter the spectrum of biological threats."[1] The 2022 strategy updates the prior 2018 strategy[2] published by the Trump Administration, which the federal government was directed to adopt by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.[3]
