Biotech research center wins $1 million in grants
NMBW Staff
The National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) announced Monday it has received two grants worth more than $1 million to develop information and search systems for agricultural researchers.


The two grants were both awarded by the Agricultural Research Service, a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The first grant, totaling $790,000, will be used by the Santa Fe-based NCGR for the continued development of the four-year-old Legume Information System (LIS). LIS is a Web-based information tool that has been used by scientists nationwide to translate model plant species to economically feasible crops, according to the NCGR announcement.

NCGR will continue to work with the Agricultural Research Service on the LIS project.
