Description
A
Letter of Intent (LOI) must be received by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on December
21, 2017. Applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February
22, 2018. The purpose of the Biotechnology Risk Assessment Research Grants
(BRAG) Program is to support the generation of new information that will assist
Federal regulatory agencies in making science-based decisions about the
environmental effects of introducing organisms genetically engineered (GE) by
recombinant nucleic acid techniques. Such organisms can include 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 relevant
scientific information.
