Borlaug Fellowship Program for Young Scientists

[Gerrit Hoogenboom]

The Borlaug Fellowship Program provides opportunities for short-term
research projects to improve agricultural productivity, economic
development, and food security. It offers training and collaborative
opportunities for agricultural research, international agricultural
economics, leadership, and policy to researchers. Competitively selected
fellows will work one-on-one with a U.S. mentor who will coordinate the
training program. After completion of the 10-12 week fellowship, the
mentor will visit the fellow's home institution to continue
collaboration. USDA will select U.S. host institutions and mentors for
each fellow.  The program will ONLY accept applications on approved
topics for eligible countries.

Submissions from candidates in ineligible countries and proposals
unrelated to approved topics will be summarily deleted.
