Scientific Evaluation of the Introduction of Genetically Modified Microorganisms and Plants into the Environment

作为国家研究理事会倡议的一部分， 生物技术委员会将进行一项研究， 生物技术科学协调委员会（BSCC） 科学、工程和技术联邦协调理事会 确定微生物的特性和 植物和它们将被引入的环境 在确定可能的 环境风险。 拟议的研究旨在提供 为研究者和监管者提供评估指南 计划引进微生物和植物。

As part of the National Research Council (NRC) initiative on biotechnology, the Board on Biology will conduct a study for the Biotechnology Science Coordinating Committee (BSCC) of the Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering and Technology to establish what properties of microorganisms and plants and the environments into which they will be introduced should be considered in determining levels of possible environmental risk. The proposed study is intended to provide guidance to both investigators and regulators in evaluating planned introductions of microorganisms and plants.
