Searches for permanent electric dipole moments (EDM) of neutrons, protons, and nuclei are the most sensitive probes for CP violation, which is necessary for baryogenesis. Currently developed experiments will improve bounds on the neutron EDM by 2-3 orders of magnitude. However, to put constraints on CP-violating interactions, nonperturbative QCD calculations of nucleon structure are necessary. I will present some recent developments in lattice calculations of nucleon EDMs induced by quark-gluon CP-odd interaction
