Aims and Objectives

Our overarching aim is to explore the effects of changing funding patterns and pressures on scientific practices, organisation, and knowledge in plant genomics research.

In pursuit of this aim, we have the following objectives:

1. To map and understand the nature and trends of commercialisation in plant genomics and post-genomic plant biology in the UK.
2. To map UK plant scientists’ perspectives and hands-on experiences with current research funding environment. In particular, i) how scientists view and are responding to funding conditions and situation with reference to their own research interests and motivations; ii) how the current funding climate positively or negatively shapes or affects their research questions, projects, trajectories or work practices; and iii) the effects of this on a) research output and outcome; and b) the nature of scientific results and knowledge.
3. To map any implicit and explicit representations of the public values and public concerns in plant genomics and post-genomic plant biology.
