'''Bioenergy Research Centers (BRCs)''' are multi-institutional research consortia focused on overcoming the scientific barriers to cost-effective, sustainable biofuel production. By leveraging systems biology, genomics, and advanced computational science, these centers work to convert plant and microbial biomass into bioenergy and bioproducts, supporting the transition to a bio-based economy.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://genomicscience.energy.gov/research/centers |title=Bioenergy Research Centers |accessdate=January 30, 2025}}</ref>

The BRCs are managed by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) within the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. Each center is led by a DOE national laboratory or university, with partnerships across academia, industry, and other national labs. Funding is provided through DOE's budget for biological and environmental research.
