Description
The
Scientific Exchanges Program advances USDA’s agricultural research goals of
promoting collaborative programs among agricultural professionals of eligible
countries, agricultural professionals of the United States, the international
agricultural research system, and United States entities conducting research by
providing fellowships to individuals from eligible countries who specialize or
have experience in agricultural education, research, extension, or other related
fields. Fellowships promote food security and economic growth in eligible
countries by educating a new generation of agricultural scientists, increasing
scientific knowledge and collaborative research to improve agricultural
productivity, and extending that knowledge to users and intermediaries in the
marketplace. The collaborative nature of the training and research
programs not only benefits the Fellow, his or her home institution, and partner
country; the U.S. recipient, its professors, researchers, and students; and the
global agricultural sector by improving agricultural productivity, systems, and
processes in partnering nations through the transfer of new science and
agricultural technologies.
