Description:

CPBR's ERTT mission is to support basic biotechnology research and the development of new, commercially valuable technologies supportive of the long-term strategic goals of EPA. The research projects selected will address these goals. It is anticipated that the projects will provide substantial environmental benefits through results such as:

• growth of bioenergy and other crops with lower use of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides;
• production of commodity chemicals from renewables rather than from fossil fuels;
• more efficient processing of biomass-based crops and wastes into biofuels;
• new tools and techniques for to use in engineering or breeding desirable traits in crops;
• assessment of the effects of genetically engineered organisms on the environment;
• assessment of the transmissibility of genetically engineered traits; and remediation of polluted sites.

Project Information:

Approach :

Research projects are selected for funding using a process that includes a two-stage review: 1) industrial and sponsoring agency review of preproposals to assess commercial and sponsoring agency relevance, and 2) peer review of full proposals to assess scientific merit. When the EPA FY 2001 funds are awarded to CPBR, the top proposals in CPBR's 2001 competition, already peer-reviewed and ranked for scientific merit and relevance to EPA missions, will be funded. This will allow the research to begin with minimal lag time, a benefit to all concerned.

Cost :$2,600,000.00

Research Component :Hazardous Waste/Remediation
