Preventing U.S. Adversaries’ Access to Critical Technologies and Exploitation of Scientific and Commercial Facilities for Military Advancement

Objectives: The initiative aims to thwart U.S. adversaries, specifically China, from acquiring critical and emerging technologies intended for military and dual-use applications, including Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs). Objectives focus on stopping the theft of U.S. intellectual property and sensitive technologies by Chinese firms and researchers, which can contribute to Chinese military advancements. Proposed projects will target preventing military advancements through trainings, mentorship, risk assessments, tools, and policies affecting governments, academia, and private industries, thereby shield international scientific enterprises, global technology supply chains, and commercial ventures from exploitation. The ultimate goal is to protect U.S. security and intellectual property by securing vulnerable technological sectors, promoting technology protection practices, and fostering resilient partnerships against technology theft.
