International Postdoctoral Fellows Program: Planning and Research Towards Developing the Potential of Indigenous Pandanus Agroforestry with the Amung-me People

9505351库克国际初级研究员和博士后研究员计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行为期3至24个月的研究。该项目的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，并提供了使用国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件的机会。这一奖项将支持卡罗琳·D·库克博士为期12个月的博士后研究访问，与Mateus Kilmaskossu先生在印度尼西亚Irian Jaya的Cenderwasih合作。该项目的目标是与印度尼西亚Irian Jaya的Aung-me人一起规划和研究开发土著Pandanus农林的潜力。他们将进行背景研究，为这一发展提供基础，这将促进生物多样性，同时创建一个可持续的企业。这些人没有收入来源，但渴望进入他们所在省份的新市场体系。他们缺乏在附近的矿业公司采矿所需的技能和教育。这两个因素使他们成熟了，可以学习一个新的专业领域，这可以提高他们的自尊，并让他们能够谋生。该项目的目的是在森德拉瓦西大学的教职员工和学生、政府官员、非政府组织、未来的研究人员等之间建立一个沟通和交流知识的网络。***

9505351 Cook The International Junior Investigator and Postdoctoral Fellows Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve-month postdoctoral research visit by Dr. Carolyn D. Cook to work with Mr. Mateus Kilmaskossu at Cenderawasih in Irian Jaya, Indonesia. The goal of this project is to plan and do research towards developing the potential of indigenous Pandanus agroforestry with the Amung-me people of Irian Jaya, Indonesia. They will conduct background research providing the basis for this development which will promote biodiversity while creating a sustainable enterprise. These people have no sources of income but desire to enter a new market system in their province. They lack the skills and education to mine at the nearby mining company. These two elements make them ripe to learn a new area of specialization which could raise their self esteem, plus allow them to make a living. This project aims to establish a network of communication and exchange of knowledge among faculty and students of Cenderawasih University, the Amung-me, government officials, non-government organizations, future researchers and beyond. ***
