Abstract: As part of its core mission, DHS is tasked with preventing terrorism and enhancing security, securing and managing our borders, and ensuring resilience to disasters. In order to assist in those key mission spaces, the Science and Technology Directorate managed work to create a Rapid DNA Technology that allows field testing of DNA that is inexpensive and quick while performing with high accuracy in a non-laboratory setting. If deployed to the field, this technology can assist with determining familial relationships at refugee camps and border crossings, quickly cross-referencing criminal databases, and identification during disaster response among other uses. To ensure the effective implementation and diffusion of this new technology, DHS S&T seeks to better understand public perceptions of Rapid DNA, its use cases, and its collection.
