Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FAS 10777 0700 10 20 0004
The 2020 Borlaug Fellowship Program World Food Prize Event funding opportunity is a discretionary USDA grant issued through the Department of Agriculture, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), Office of Capacity Building and Development. It supports a key component of the Norman E. Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellowship Program by funding activities tied to the World Food Prize week and the Borlaug Dialogue International Symposium in Des Moines, Iowa, scheduled for the week of October 11, 2020. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to strengthen and showcase the fellowship program by enabling training, convening, and structured engagement for Borlaug Fellows and their U.S. mentors during one of the most visible global gatherings focused on food security and agricultural development.
At its core, the Borlaug Fellowship Program aims to advance USDA agricultural research and international collaboration goals by developing professional connections and technical capacity among agricultural specialists from eligible countries. Fellows are typically individuals with backgrounds or experience in agricultural education, research, extension, or closely related fields, and their fellowships are built around hands-on training and collaborative work with U.S. host institutions and other research entities. The program emphasizes two linked outcomes: building scientific and technical capability in partner countries while also encouraging the kinds of research partnerships and knowledge transfer that can improve agricultural productivity, strengthen food systems, and support the expansion of domestic and international agricultural markets. By helping fellows gain new skills and scientific exposure and then extend that knowledge back home to practitioners, institutions, and market intermediaries, the program is intended to translate training into real-world gains in productivity, trade, and agricultural economic activity.
The World Food Prize and the Borlaug Dialogue serve as the high-profile convening platform that complements the fellowship experience. The World Food Prize, created in 1986 to realize Dr. Norman E. Borlaug's vision, is presented to individuals who have made significant, measurable contributions to improving the quality, quantity, or availability of food worldwide. It recognizes achievements across a wide range of disciplines connected to food supply and human development, including agricultural science and technology, nutrition, manufacturing and marketing, economics, poverty alleviation, political leadership, and the social sciences. Alongside the award, the organization hosts the annual Borlaug Dialogue International Symposium, which convenes global experts and leaders to discuss current and emerging issues in food security, while also running youth education programs meant to inspire future professionals in global agriculture. FAS participates each year and uses the week to organize dedicated training and events for Borlaug Fellows and their mentors, with around 60 fellows and mentors typically attending. The networking and exposure to global decision-makers, scientists, and practitioners is positioned as a major value-add that helps fellows build lasting collaborations and stay connected to leading-edge ideas and technologies.
