The Borlaug Fellowship Program provides opportunities for short-term 
research projects to improve agricultural productivity, economic 
development, and food security. It offers training and collaborative 
opportunities for agricultural research, international agricultural 
economics, leadership, and policy to researchers. Competitively selected 
fellows will work one-on-one with a U.S. mentor who will coordinate the 
training program. After completion of the 10-12 week fellowship, the 
mentor will visit the fellow's home institution to continue 
collaboration. USDA will select U.S. host institutions and mentors for 
each fellow.  The program will ONLY accept applications on approved 
topics for eligible countries.
