Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Do Not Fund
Date:
Jun 15, 1999

Comment:

Recommendation: Do not fund.

Comments: This proposal specifically addresses future incorporation of genetic material from presently infertile males into future generations. This is an expensive proposal to address the disadvantages to the (present) cryopreservation approach to conserving genetic material, and should be examined from the standpoint of the investment in a strategy that might be considered a technological alternative to restoring spawning populations. Reviewers find no convincing argument as to how the proposed research relates to priority needs of the FWP. The proposal does not adequately describe how it will be programmatically applied. There is no citation of other applications of similar technology to other ESA efforts.

Sounds like pure theoretical research. Unclear what the application is for the recovery of listed species.
