Global Research Alliance Fellowships U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service and the U.S. Agency for International Development

Fellowship Program Information Alliance member developing countries eligible for the Borlaug Fellowship Program Competitively selected fellows work side-=by-side with U.S. scientists on climate change mitigation research Up to 3 months in the U.S. U.S. mentor can travel to fellow’s country for up to 10 days to continue the collaboration Information and application at GRA%20Main.asp

GRA Borlaug Fellowships Targeted research areas Developing Tools for Greenhouse Gas and Carbon Sequestration Assessments Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Intensity in Crop Production Systems Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Intensity in Livestock Production Systems Developing Databases and Strategies for Synthesis, Integration, and Decision Support to Manage Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems

Fellowship Awards to Date 2010 – 10 Fellows: Chile (2), Ghana, India (2), Malaysia (2), Mexico, Philippines, Vietnam 6 on topics related to the Cropland Research Group 2011 – 7 Fellows: India, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Uruguay, Vietnam (2) 3 on topics related to the Cropland Research Group 2012 – 4 Fellows (selected): Ghana (2), Indonesia, Vietnam 3 on topics related to the Cropland Research Group

Some Fellows’ Project Titles Simplified method for estimating carbon sequestration in Malaysian soils Develop a water management model that integrates variables such as crop growth, water demand, and hydrology under different climate change scenarios Policies that mitigate GHG emissions from major crops in Thailand Biofuels - methods to assess and manage GHG emission; carbon emission reduction
