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.
