Biological Threat Reduction Program

The Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP) is an initiative aimed at preventing the spread of biological weapons and contagious diseases. It focuses on securing dangerous pathogens in laboratories, enhancing health systems, and improving global response to biological threats. By collaborating with countries to strengthen their health security and laboratory safety, the BTRP seeks to mitigate the risks posed by biological agents, ensuring they are used for research and medical purposes rather than harm. Ultimately, the program aims to protect public health and promote safety worldwide by reducing the potential for biological threats.
