There are also additional opportunities to participate in jointly sponsored research projects. In response to national security needs, the U.S. government and national security community have called for the development of a dedicated national microbial forensics system that includes robust capability for incidents in the agricultural and food sectors. Strategies for securing our plant resources must address microbial forensic technology, to determine the source of intentional pathogen introductions and to provide evidence for attribution.
