This department is offering the Biotechnology Risk Assessment Grants Program to generate new information important for Federal regulatory agencies to make science-based decisions regarding the environmental impact of introducing genetically engineered organisms. The research covers a wide range of organisms like plants, microorganisms, arthropods, and animals, excluding humans, in various environments. The program aims to provide necessary scientific data to assist regulatory agencies in evaluating the environmental effects of organisms created through recombinant nucleic acid techniques. Application deadline: Feb 22, 2018.

| 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 environmental effects of introducing organisms genetically engineered (GE) by recombinant nucleic acid techniques. Such organisms can include 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 relevant scientific information. |
