FONTAGRO Discovery Dialogue Workshop to Promote Regional Research in Agriculture

Price9905630该奖项由美洲计划和生物基础设施部共同资助，将有助于利用农业部和美洲开发银行(IDB)的Fondo Region de Tecnologia Agropecuaria(FONTAGRO)的捐款，支持旨在确定美国和拉丁美洲/加勒比科学家一致的农业研究需求和兴趣的发现对话研讨会，并促进区域合作。第一期研讨会将于1999年4月7日至9日在德克萨斯州大学站的德克萨斯农工大学举行，届时将有来自拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的研究人员参加，以确定潜在的合作领域。这些探索讲习班的预期成果将是确定和详细说明提交给美洲开发银行1999年和以后几年的FONTAGRO竞赛的具体研究项目，以及建立一个研究人员、机构和项目的数据库，以促进美国和拉丁美洲/加勒比地区研究人员之间的合作。***

Price9905630This award, jointly funded by the Americas Program and the Division of Biological Infrastructure, will help to leverage contributions from the Department of Agriculture and the Fondo Regional de Tecnologia Agropecuaria (FONTAGRO) of the Interamerican Development Bank (IDB), to support Discovery Dialogue Workshops aimed at identifying coincident agricultural research needs and interests among US and Latin American/Caribbean scientists and promote regional collaboration. The initial workshop, to be held in April 7-9, 1999 at Texas A&M in College Station, Texas, will bring researchers from Latin America and the Caribbean to identify potential areas for collaboration. An expected outcome of these Discovery Workshops will be the identification and detailing of specific research projects for submission to the IDB's FONTAGRO competition in 1999 and subsequent years, and a data base of research personnel, institutions, and projects that will stimulate cooperation between U.S. and Latin American/ Caribbean researchers. ***
