FOA-2020 Norman E. Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellowship (USDA-FAS-10777-0700-10-20-0008); August 7, 2020

 

Agency

US Department of Agriculture – Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS)

 

Description

USDA identifies Borlaug Participants based on country-specific topics of importance to international agricultural trade. USDA then places Participants with U.S. research institutions for 10-12-week intensive programs. These programs are expected to contribute to the strategic goals and objectives of the Participant and the institutions through a hands-on experience in a “real-world” agricultural research scenario, providing opportunity for application of research agendas where they can have a direct impact on food security and economic growth in an emerging economy. It is hoped that host institutions will share the knowledge gained through the program in their classroom and extension work with their faculty, students, extension officers, and constituents; and that they will continue to maintain professional contacts with the Participants after their departure from the United States.
