Biotechnology Risk Assessment Research Grants Program (BRAG)
https://nifa.usda.gov/...ssessment-
research-grants-program-brag
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 -
such as 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. See the Request for
Applications
(RFA) for details. View the Centers of Excellence (COE) webpage to access
a
factsheet on the COE designation process, including COE criteria, and a
list of programs offering COE opportunities.
