    Joint Operations Center  CCC CBD SBIR/STTR PROGRAM
 The Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP) was established by the Department of Defense (DoD) in 1994 to ensure the U.S. military has the capabilities to operate effectively and decisively in the face of chemical and/or biological warfare threats at home or abroad. The overall objective of the Joint Science and Technology Office (JSTO) for Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD), Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Program, in conjunction with partnering DoD Components, is to elicit innovative solutions that address CBD technology gaps confronting the DoD. The CBD SBIR program also seeks to improve the transition or transfer of these technologies to the end user – the warfighter – as well as commercialization within the private sector for mutual benefit.
