Create an independent organization working along the lines of Implementation Support Unit of Biological Weapons Convention
Biorisk and Recovery from Catastrophe
Biological Weapons Convention, forbidding the development of biological weapons, was signed in 1972 by most countries. But compliance is verified by Implementation Support Unit (BCW ISU), with the budget in the range $1-2m and only roughly four employees. At the same time, it seems there is a fair probability that Russia has an active biological weapon development program.
Create an organization that will do open-source intelligence information gathering and analysis and publication on the bioweapon programs in Russia and others, including terrorist groups. Possibly also include monitoring dangerous biological research in academia, like gain-of-function, work with smallpox, etc.
