3. Research Priorities
Current research in genetic engineering platform technologies is proceeding at an almost
incomprehensibly rapid pace under the impetus of medical and basic biological research
goals. While environmental biotechnology has much to gain from advances in these research
goals, the support in these technologies and pace of progress are already sufficiently great, but
funding for environmental goals is limited such that agencies with primarily environmental
goals are encouraged to direct their support toward research priorities in other areas.
