The headquarters of the Biological Resources Discipline (BRD) is located in Reston, Virginia, and consists of the offices of the Associate Director for Biology, the Chief Scientist for Biology, the Associate Chief Biologist for Information and the Chief of Cooperative Research Units. 

Here's a brief look at each of their offices.

The Associate Director for Biology is responsible for planning and oversight of the science program and associated activities. 

The Chief Scientist for Biology is responsible for BRD science program planning, budget development, policy, and program evaluation. 

The Associate Chief Biologist for Information is responsible for establishing policies, procedures and partnerships for implementing biological informatics program components at local, regional and global scales. 

The Chief, Cooperative Research Units (CRUs) serves as the national program chief for work conducted by the CRUs across the United States. Each unit is a partnership among BRD, a host university, and one of several State fish and wildlife agencies working to address local, regional, and national biological research needs. Units also participate in the graduate education of future national resource professionals. CRUs operate to fill gaps in fish and wildlife management information and ensure availability of trained fish and wildlife biologists. CRUs also provide technical assistance and training to State and Federal personnel and other resource managers.
