The research proposals submitted to this competitive grants program must address risk assessment or risk managemnt on the safety of introducing these organisms into the environment, reasearch methods to monitor the dispersal of such organisms, research to increase the knowledgee of the the characteristics of genes transfers between such organisms, analyze the impact of genetically engineered organisms as compared to other types of production systems, or other research areas that further BRAG.

Approximately $3 million was available for 2004.
