Description
The
U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, Office of Biological and
Environmental Research (OBER), 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 biomass and plant feedstocks for the production of fuels
such as ethanol or renewable chemical feedstocks. Applications are sought for
research on candidate bioenergy plants with improved resistance/tolerance to
disease and disease complexes. Research to overcome these biological barriers
to the low-cost, high-quality, scalable and sustainable production of bioenergy
feedstocks using the tools of genetics and genomics are encouraged.
