Strategic Planning Process
Sharlene Weatherwax provided an overview of the strategic plan at the Genomics:GTL Awardee Workshop VI on February 11, 2008 and requested input from the research community. [PDF or PowerPoint]
This plan builds upon the 2005 Genomics:GTL Roadmap.
Background
The Genomics:GTL Roadmap [August 2005] is an aggressive systems microbiology plan to accelerate the scientific discovery needed to support the development of practical applications for DOE energy and environmental missions. The primary goal of the program in 2005 was to achieve a predictive understanding of the capabilities of microbes and microbial communities for applications in energy, remediation, and global carbon cycling and sequestration. Since 2005, genomics and systems biology research approaches for relevant plants have been included in the GTL program.
