The DSV consists of 8 research institutes.
To promote exchanges between its operational sectors in its strategic areas, the CEA has created 6 cross-cutting programs. Two of them are run by the DSV: "Health technologies" and "Toxicology".
Since 2005, the DSV has managed the CEA research center at Fontenay-aux-Roses.
