Task Background Sample Clauses

Task Background. The research and engineering depicted in this Statement of Work seeks to make existing capabilities (e.g. genetic modification of microbes to produce commodity chemicals) more efficient with the intended purpose of speeding the development of Living Foundries. The goal of this research is to make better engineering tools, and not to produce microbes that may have Dual-Use potential. As noted in the performer’s technical proposal, a review of the research activities identified within this Statement of Work determined that this project will not enable technologies that are related to human, animal, or plant health. The performer’s choice of potential chassis or hosts will be made from amongst the list of microbes that, prior to genetic modification, are designated safely handled in a Biosafety Level 1 facility. Additionally, the resulting genetically modified organisms have no selective advantage in the environment. Metrics/Completion Criteria: The performer shall demonstrate throughout the program that all methods and demonstrations of capability comply with national guidance for manipulation of genes and organisms and follow all guidance for biological safety and biosecurity. Demonstrations and testbeds must meet any applicable regulations designed to protect human health and the environment promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency, National Institutes of Health, or other relevant agencies of the Federal Government. The performer shall use, store, and destroy biological material in accordance with all applicable regulations. Deliverable: Include as part of the required monthly technical status reports an on-going status of efforts to develop and/or carry out their Advanced Tools and Capabilities for Generalizable Platforms (ATCG) Bio-Safety and Security plan.

Task Background. It is the goal of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that its investment in the tools and capabilities developed under the ATCG program to be multiplied many-fold by adoption and improvement by researchers across the United States. In order to achieve this vision, the Living Foundries program aims to facilitate interoperability and open the field to new entrants. Metrics/Completion Criteria: To facilitate interoperability, all applicable design tools and databases developed under the ATCG program should be compatible with Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL) core data model. The Performer shall make available the technologies developed under the ATCG effort to the broader synthetic biology community by presenting its ATCG research data at public meetings/conferences/workshops and publishing results in peer-reviewed journal articles. At a minimum, the types of information that will be made available to the broader synthetic biology community are as discussed below:

Related to Task Background

  • BACKGROUND This document contains final regulations regarding the proposed amendments to 26 CFR part 1 under section 860E of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). The regulations provide the circumstances under which a transferor of a noneconomic REMIC residual interest meeting the investigation and representation requirements may avail itself of the safe harbor by satisfying either the formula test or the asset test. Final regulations governing REMICs, issued in 1992, contain rules governing the transfer of noneconomic REMIC residual interests. In general, a transfer of a noneconomic residual interest is disregarded for all tax purposes if a significant purpose of the transfer is to enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax. A purpose to impede the assessment or collection of tax (a wrongful purpose) exists if the transferor, at the time of the transfer, either knew or should have known that the transferee would be unwilling or unable to pay taxes due on its share of the REMIC's taxable income. Under a safe harbor, the transferor of a REMIC noneconomic residual interest is presumed not to have a wrongful purpose if two requirements are satisfied: (1) the transferor conducts a reasonable investigation of the transferee's financial condition (the investigation requirement); and (2) the transferor secures a representation from the transferee to the effect that the transferee understands the tax obligations associated with holding a residual interest and intends to pay those taxes (the representation requirement).
