RFI opened regarding Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative

In Washington, the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy has launched a request for information regarding the President’s Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy. The executive order included the Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative (NBBI) to advance biotechnology and biomanufacturing towards innovative solutions in health, climate change, energy, food security, agriculture, and supply chain resilience, and to advance national and economic security.

This RFI seeks public input on how advances in biotechnology and biomanufacturing can help us achieve goals that were previously out of reach and what steps can be taken to ensure we have the right research ecosystem, workforce, data, domestic biomanufacturing capacity, and other components to support a strong bioeconomy.

Interested persons and organizations are invited to submit comments on or before 5 p.m. ET on January 20, 2023.
