Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program: Biological Weapons Proliferation Prevention (BWPP) Program

The program’s cooperative biological research projects with former Soviet biological weapons (BW) scientists helped prevent proliferation of (biological weapons) BW expertise, science, and technology to countries of proliferation concern and terrorist groups. These projects also helped increase transparency at former Soviet BW facilities, steer former-Soviet weapons scientists away from BW-related projects, redirect research priorities and projects at former-Soviet biological research and production centers to focus on peaceful purposes, and employ former-Soviet BW scientists and technical experts in research useful to the U.S. biodefense research program.
