Agile BioFoundry Announces 2022 Cooperative Research Solicitation

Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO)-funded Agile BioFoundry (ABF) consortium is overseeing a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) solicitation for industry and academic partners to utilize ABF capabilities.

This funding opportunity provides resources for partners to collaborate with ABF’s investigators for developing novel microbial hosts, augmenting titer, rate and yield of bioproducts, and creating new capabilities and approaches to improve the Design-Build-Test-Learn biomanufacturing cycle. Proposals should identify how  projects can leverage the ABF’s capabilities while identifying routes to support BETO goals of supporting sustainable aviation fuel production, decarbonizing industry through low or negative-carbon biochemicals, and decarbonizing transportation. 

This opportunity funds competitively-selected agreements between BETO laboratory consortia and partners from industry and academia. For more information, visit the ABF website.
