Each year, the Generation Challenge Programme (GCP) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) offers fellowships to developing country crop science researchers.
The Generation Challenge Programme is pleased to announce that the deadline for submission of applications for the 2008 Fellowship Programme has been extended to 29th February for the following six themes:
1. Data analysis of a network of field trials involving a population of recombinant inbred lines.
2. Studying the influence of genetic correlations between environments.
3. The use of relatedness information in linkage disequilibrium mapping: pedigree information versus molecular marker information
4. Marker-based estimation of co-ancestry measures in genebank collections
5. Estimation of genetic parameters in autotetraploids
6. Data mining approach to assessing biotic constraints.
Applications are invited from developing country crop science researchers working in developing country research institutions wishing to broaden their skills by conducting research outside their home countries/institutions. Priority will be given to scientists already involved in GCP research projects.
