The U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Agriculture are offering a joint research funding opportunity to support genomics-based research for enhancing the use of plant biomass in biofuel and renewable chemical feedstock production. The grant aims to fund studies on improving disease resistance in herbaceous and woody plants, winter cold tolerance in non-food oil seed crops, and overcoming biological barriers for cost-effective, high-quality bioenergy biomass production through genetics and genomics. Applications are open until February 18, 2017.

| Description: | The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, Biological and EnvironmentalResearch (BER), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), hereby announce their interest in receiving applications for genomics- based research that will lead to the improved use of plant biomass and feedstocks for the production of biofuels and renewable chemical feedstocks. Applications are sought for research on candidate herbaceous and woody plants with improved resistance/tolerance to disease and disease complexes, and non-food oil seed crops with improved winter cold tolerance/survivability and agronomic traits. Research to overcome these biological barriers to the low-cost, high quality, scalable and sustainable production of dedicated bioenergy biomass feedstocks using the tools of genetics and genomics are encouraged. |
