Investigators: Schumacher, Dorin
Institution: The Consortium for Plant Biotechnology Research, Inc

Project Period: November 1, 2001 through October 31, 2006 (Extended to December 31, 2007)
Project Amount: $2,620,600
RFA: The Consortium for Plant Biotechnology Research, Inc., Environmental Research and Technology Transfer Program (2001) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Hazardous Waste/Remediation , Targeted Research
Objective:
Since its initial EPA funding, awarded in August 2002, CPBR has made 28 subawards to investigators at member universities and to collaborators at minority institutions. Appendix A lists all of the projects funded from the 2001 through 2005 ERTT competitions. Appendix B contains the required Annual Project Summaries of the projects funded.
CPBR’s 2005 ERTT competition was the last competition held with this grant. All the projects supported by this grant are now completed. At the beginning of each competition, the principal investigators presented preproposals at the annual CPBR Symposium (held Februarys in Washington, DC). CPBR member companies evaluated the preproposals and discussed posters with the researchers. Those preproposals with high enough industry evaluations were requested to submit proposals. Ad hoc peer review and Scientific Consultant evaluations were used by the Project Recommendation Committee to rank the proposals. EPA funding was awarded to the highest ranked and most environmentally relevant proposals. In addition, investigators funded in the 2001 through 2005 ERTT competitions presented talks at the Symposium describing the research they did with their EPA funding.
Difficulties the CPBR has encountered or might encounter in carrying out the ERTT mission, and remedial actions (to be) taken.
The biggest problems were delays in CPBR receiving EPA funds, which caused delays in the start of the research.
