This grant, the Biotechnology Risk Assessment Grants Program (BRAG), is for generating new scientific information to assist Federal regulatory agencies in making science-based decisions. It focuses on the environmental effects of introducing genetically engineered (GE) organisms, including plants, microorganisms, arthropods, fish, birds, and mammals (excluding humans). The program supports investigations into impacts on both managed and natural environments. Its core purpose is to provide Federal regulatory bodies with robust scientific data directly relevant to regulatory issues concerning GE organisms, enabling informed and evidence-based decision-making.
