The Department of Agriculture offers the Biotechnology Risk Assessment Grants Program to support research that helps Federal regulatory agencies in making informed decisions about the environmental impacts of genetically engineered organisms. Projects focus on plants, microorganisms, animals (excluding humans), and their effects on managed and natural environments. The program provides scientific data to aid regulatory agencies. Refer to the Request for Applications (RFA) for more information. Deadline for applications is April 17, 2015.

| Description: | The purpose of the BRAG program is to support the generation of new information that will assist Federal regulatory agencies in making science-based decisions about the effects of introducing into the environment genetically engineered organisms (GE), including plants, microorganisms (including fungi, bacteria, and viruses), arthropods, fish, birds, mammals and other animals excluding humans. Investigations of effects on both managed and natural environments are relevant. The BRAG program accomplishes its purpose by providing Federal regulatory agencies with scientific information relevant to regulatory issues. See RFA for details. |
