The work and knowledge of biomass research and development goes well beyond the Biomass Research and Development (BR&D) Board, the BR&D Technical Advisory Committee, and the BR&D Initiative.
- Major activities of the federal agencies that make up the BR&D Board are detailed in Agency Roles and Responsibilities, as is one of the U.S. president's major efforts, the Biofuels Interagency Working Group.
- Drivers for many recent federal biomass research and development activities stem from legislation such the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007
and the Energy Policy Act of 2005
, as well as the The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
or the Agricultural Act of 2014
