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

作为国家研究委员会（NRC）生物技术倡议的一部分，生物学委员会将为联邦科学协调委员会的生物技术科学协调委员会（BSCC）进行一项研究。在确定可能的环境风险水平时，应考虑确定微生物和植物的特性以及它们将被引入的环境的工程和技术。提出的研究旨在为研究人员和监管机构评估微生物和植物的计划引入提供指导。

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.
