Ethical, Legal, and Societal Implications (ELSI) of Research on Alternative Bioenergy Technologies, Synthetic Genomics, or Nanotechnologies
The U.S. Department of Energy requests proposals for Ethical, Legal, and Societal Implications of Research on Alternative Bioenergy Technologies, Synthetic Genomics, or Nanotechnologies. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Impacts from changing land use patterns; the use of "dual-use" crops (food vs. energy), and implications resulting from the exploration and exploitation of microbes and microbial capabilities which would result from a large biomass to biofuels effort. $1 million expected to be available, 5-9 awards are anticipated.

EESI was founded in 1984 by a bipartisan group of
Congressional Members dedicated to finding environmental and
energy solutions. EESI provides credible, timely
information and innovative policy ideas through coalition
building, media outreach, publications, briefings, workshops
and task forces on the issues of energy efficiency and
renewable energy, transportation, smart growth, agriculture
and global climate change. Carol Werner leads the EESI
