The USDA Biotechnology Risk Assessment Research Grants Program (BRAG) aims to generate new information to assist Federal regulatory agencies in making science-based decisions regarding genetically engineered organisms in the environment. This includes plants, microorganisms, arthropods, fish, birds, mammals, and other animals. The focus is on evaluating effects in managed and natural environments, excluding humans. By providing relevant scientific data, the BRAG program supports regulatory decision-making. Refer to the Request for Application (RFA) for more information. Closing date for applications is March 30, 2017, at 12:00 AM EDT.
