Authors: Genevieve J. Knezo, Resources, Science and Industry Division 
Abstract: This report inventories federal agency counterterrorism R&D funding patterns, programs, and priority-setting and coordination mechanisms, and assesses changes proposed. It describes developments in federal organizations to set priorities and coordinate R&D in the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Office of Homeland Security, and related bodies. It also describes how R&D would be managed and coordinated in the major legislative proposals to create a homeland security department, and assesses these arrangements.
