National Biotechnology Initiative Act of 2025

This bill would create a National Biotechnology Initiative run through the Executive Office of the President to coordinate federal biotechnology work across 13 named agencies, including Agriculture, Defense, Energy, and Health and Human Services. It would set up a National Biotechnology Coordination Office with a Director who advises the President, and an interagency committee of agency officials. Agencies would support research, biological databases, product commercialization, regulatory streamlining, biosafety, workforce training, and international partnerships. The office would build a public biotechnology website, send annual reports to Congress, and publish a national strategy at least every 5 years. The bill authorizes $22 million to $35 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for the National Science Foundation to support the office.
