This project will stimulate a new international research initiative between Howard University, the Los Angeles Counnty Museum of Natural History, and the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (CAS), Beijing. It leverages expertise and specialized skills, facilities, and/or other resources of the foreign collaborator(s) and access to the collections at the Natural History Museum of Ethiopia. Chinese colleagues are seeking funding from the Chinese Natural National Science Foundation to facilitate their research on this project and for the training of a Chinese national student at Howard University. PIs will develop web content and e-exhibits on hipparion evolution, biogeography and paleodiet for all involved institutions at Howard University. The innovative high risk-high return nature of this proposal makes it a suitable fit for an EAGER. Letters of collaboration and permission for access to relevant Ethiopian museum collections are provided.

该项目将促进霍华德大学、洛杉矶县自然历史博物馆和北京古脊椎动物与古人类研究所之间的一项新的国际研究计划。 它利用外国合作者的专业知识和专业技能、设施和/或其他资源，以及获得埃塞俄比亚自然历史博物馆藏品的机会。 中国同事正在寻求中国国家自然科学基金的资助，以促进他们对该项目的研究，并在霍华德大学培训一名中国学生。PI将为霍华德大学的所有相关机构开发关于河马进化、地理学和古饮食的网络内容和电子展览。该提案的创新高风险高回报性质使其适合EAGER。 提供了合作函和获得埃塞俄比亚相关博物馆藏品的许可。
