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.
