Biotechnology for the 21st Century is a report on the U.S. Biotechnology Research Initiative, which recognizes the critical role of biotechnology in the nation's future. This document from the Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering, and Technology (FCCSET) consists of major sections on 11 biotechnology research areas, the contributions of 12 federal agencies, and budget tables. Coordination and integration of interagency research and development strategy for the initiative and the report were led by James Mason, Chairman of the Committee on Life Sciences and Health, and by David Galas, Chairman of the Biotechnology Research Subcommittee. 1992.

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international 13-year effort, 1990 to 2003. Primary goals were to discover the complete set of human genes and make them accessible for further biological study, and determine the complete sequence of DNA bases in the human genome. See Timeline for more HGP history.
Published from 1989 until 2002, this newsletter facilitated HGP communication, helped prevent duplication of research effort, and informed persons interested in genome research.
