Presentation Transcript

  1. Forest Health Initiative Policy Social & Environmental Biological Science

  2. Host: American Chestnut Pathogen: Cryphonectria Disease: Chestnut Blight

  3. Population Development (ACxCC)xAC, ACxAC

  4. Forest Health Initiative Policy Social & Environmental Biological Science • Genome sequence • Germplasm markers • Clonal testing (includes lines from breeding and from transgenics) • Updating (APHIS, FDA, EPA) • Discussions • Outreach • Publications

  5. Forest Health Initiative Messages to Consider from Year 1 • Science Advisory Committee • expertise mostly external to chestnut • site visits to check progress and talk science • Funding Mechanism • deliverables-based • supplemental supports new innovations • Crosstalk is Required • deliverables are interdependent • There is a Sense of Urgency

  6. Forest Health Initiative Looking Ahead • Rapid Response Framework • required to generalize the model • not “one size fits all” • Roll-Out • publications • outreach • Biotechnology-Assisted Ecosystem Restoration • many challenges but an important discussion
