NBAF

NBAF stands for the National Bio-Agro Defense Facility, a part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This facility would research and develop solutions to some of the world's most complex human and animal diseases. Your Kansas government officials have worked hard to bring this facility home to Manhattan, Kansas in hopes that it would create jobs and economic growth. Kansas was selected out of five finalists to become host to this research based facility.
