Long- and Short-Term Training for HC Scientists

Approach

The goal of UGA 38T was for the Peanut CRSP to have a more definite training plan to ensure the provision of long- and short-term training support that best fits host country needs and priorities.

Achievements

Long- and Short-term Training for Host Country Scientists. The project has supported M.S. and Ph.D. students at Texas A&M University, University of Connecticut, North Carolina State University, University of Georgia, Auburn University, and in Ghana and Malawi. An Asian regional Workshop at ICRISAT/India was sponsored on aflatoxin detection methods. A Product Development Workshop was held at the University of Georgia in cooperation with North Carolina A&T University, where scientists of a number of countries attended. Scientists from Bolivia received training in pathology-breeding at the University of Florida. A Modeling-Cropping Systems Workshop was held in West Africa under the direction of the University of Florida.
