Project Summary:
“Institutional Entrepreneurship in a Context of Rapidly Changing Practices: Genomics and its Ethical, Environmental, Economic, Legal and Social Aspects (GE3LS)” is a component of the EcoToxChip project. The objective of the EcoToxChip project is to develop, test, validate, and commercialize quantitative PCR arrays (EcoToxChip) and a data evaluation tool (EcoToxXplorer.ca) for the characterization, prioritization, and management of environmental chemicals and complex mixtures of regulatory concern. The goal of the GE3LS project is to produce social science knowledge about the phenomenon of “institutional entrepreneurship” and to leverage this knowledge in ways that make EcoToxChip project team members more effective as change agents who transform institutionalized practices in the field of ecological risk assessment of chemicals.
The project objectives guiding this research are to: 1) assess the barriers to, and opportunities for, the adoption and scaling-up of EcoToxChip and the EcoToxXplorer.ca in end-user strategies; and 2) map the various organizational, social, economic, scientific, and political dimensions of EcoToxChip and the associated tool EcoToxXplorer.ca in different institutional and regulatory contexts.
