The Center for Aquaculture Technologies, Inc. was awarded a $499,996 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture to support research on Partial Inactivation of Maternal Gene technology for the genetic containment of genetically engineered fish.
The award, made under the Biotechnology Risk Assessment Research program (CFDA #10.219), will fund the generation of new information to assist USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Biotechnology Regulatory Services in the regulation of genetically engineered organisms. Specifically, the Center for Aquaculture Technologies will conduct research on Partial Inactivation of Maternal Gene technology, which has the potential to contain the spread of genetically engineered fish traits in the wild. The period of performance for this three-year project grant is August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025.
