The Sorghum, Millet and Other Grains Collaborative Research
Support Program is requesting proposals for new projects to
focus on increasing food security and promoting market
development of sorghum and pearl millet products for developing
and transforming countries. The projects will develop linkages between the
United States and Host Countries for Global Research, Capacity
Building and Institutional Development. The RFPs are designed to
attract proposals from U.S. institutions with demonstrated
capacity to participate in a research effort to expand the
knowledge base for improvement of the productivity, resistance
to biotic and abiotic stresses, utilization and economic
benefits of sorghum and pearl millet in Africa, Central America
and the United States. Targeted basic and applied research, education, short-term training and technology transfer
will promote adoption and economic impact. The approach
involves regional, interdisciplinary and multi-organizational
teams. These projects will involve working with scientists of
national agricultural research systems (NARS) in Africa and
Central America to develop strategies to work effectively with
farmers, technology transfer agents and processors. The projects
will be designed to improve the NARS research capability by
providing technical support and training through on-site
consultation in host countries, degree training and short-term
training/study visits of host country national staff to the U.S.
or regional centers. The project shall also contribute to the
development of the sorghum and millet industry in the United
States. Proposals are requested for the following projects: |
