2019 Washington State University CGIAR Borlaug Fellowship Program
Washington State University (WSU) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) are pleased to announce the 2019 WSU CGIAR Borlaug Fellowship Program to promote agricultural productivity, food security, and economic growth through collaborative research. The fellowship is conducted between select CGIAR Centers (CIAT, CIMMYT, CIP, ICARDA, and Worldfish) and Washington State University. Competitively selected Fellows will work one-on-one with a WSU mentor who will coordinate the training program.
Application deadline is 11:59 p.m. Pacific on Thursday January 31, 2019.
WSU and USDA select candidates based on their academic and professional research interests and achievements, level of scientific competence, aptitude for scientific research, leadership potential, likelihood of bringing back new ideas to their home institution, and flexibility and capacity for success in a cross-cultural environment.
Among its many ongoing projects, GRE is currently involved in designing, monitoring, and supporting agricultural research for inclusive and sustainable agriculture-led economic growth in Tanzania; agroforestry and community development in Malawi; and creating professional development and learning opportunities for Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning professionals around the world.
