Genome-Enabled Environmental
Science and Engineering
(GEN-EN)
The GEN-EN topical area invites the submission of proposals which use scientific and/or
engineering approaches to develop and apply genomic information and tools to further
our understanding of how organisms interact with (adjust to and modify) their environment.
Hypothesis-based research projects are especially welcome. Proposals may address any of
a wide range of questions in the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, physiological
ecology, microbial ecology, and engineering, as long as genomic approaches are applied in
a logical and necessary manner. An example of an engineering-type project that would be
appropriate for the GEN-EN competition is the use of genomic information and/or tools to
improve the understanding and application of biodegradation and biological treatment
processes, as well as the ability to design and control them. Another GEN-EN-appropriate
example of possible interest to engineers is the use of genomic tools to address basic
questions about how the environment interacts with genomes to produce a range of
phenotypes. Other examples are given in the BE solicitation posted in the left column.
Deadlines for the "Biocomplexity in the Environment"
program are listed in the solicitation link at the top of the left column on this page.
