Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FAS 10777 0700 10 20 0007
The 2020 Borlaug Fellowship Program World Food Prize Event grant opportunity is a USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) award designed to support a very specific piece of the broader Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellowship Program. The Borlaug Fellowship Program brings agricultural professionals from eligible countries to engage with U.S. researchers, universities, and other partners to strengthen agricultural education, research, and extension. The larger fellowship initiative is built around collaboration: increasing scientific knowledge, encouraging joint research, and helping translate new science and agricultural technologies into practical use, with the long-term aim of improving agricultural productivity, strengthening markets, and expanding trade and economic activity in partner countries. In this 2020 funding opportunity, the immediate focus is on organizing structured programming for Borlaug Fellows and their U.S.-based mentors while they are gathered in Des Moines, Iowa for the World Food Prize Borlaug Dialogue International Symposium during the week of October 11, 2020.
The World Food Prize context matters because the Borlaug Dialogue is positioned as a major global convening on food security, agriculture, and related development challenges, drawing experts and leaders across disciplines that influence food systems. USDA FAS participates annually and uses the moment to connect fellows with each other and with global networks. This grant essentially outsources the planning and execution support for two targeted workshops that run adjacent to the Borlaug Dialogue, ensuring the fellowship cohort has dedicated time and structure for professional exchange that complements the larger symposium.
The core objective of the award is for the selected recipient to work directly with FAS Global Programs and Fellowship Programs staff to plan and deliver two workshops for roughly 60 Borlaug Fellows and their mentors. The first is an all-day event, the USDA Borlaug Fellowship Program World Food Prize Event, expected to run about 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Monday, October 12, 2020. This session is meant to stimulate substantive discussion and peer learning around collaborative agricultural research, the transfer and practical adoption of new science and agricultural technologies, ways to reduce barriers to technology uptake, and the development or strengthening of agricultural extension services. A major intended outcome is community-building, helping fellows form a lasting community of practice that supports better use of agricultural science internationally after they return to their institutions and countries.
The second required activity is a formal breakfast workshop for fellows and mentors, planned for about 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on a date that FAS will confirm no later than three weeks in advance. This breakfast session is expected to feature a USDA principal and other presenters and is designed to communicate and discuss USDA’s vision for international agricultural education, research, and extension. In addition to designing agendas and managing logistics for both workshops, the awardee is also expected to provide the operational support needed to facilitate these events, with finer-grained requirements referenced in the solicitation’s Section F. USDA also notes that fellows’ research interests will align with the statutory scope of “food and agricultural sciences” under 7 USC 3103(9), and the agency will confirm the final number of fellows and their specific research areas no later than three weeks before the event, implying the awardee must be able to adapt programming to the cohort’s topical mix on a relatively short timeline.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary USDA opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USDA FAS 10777 0700 10 20 0007) under CFDA 10.777, using an “Other” funding instrument type. Eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, signaling that USDA expects a university or comparable academic entity to manage the event planning, coordination with speakers, and participant-facing execution. The opportunity was posted May 7, 2020, with an original application closing date of June 5, 2020. USDA anticipated making a single award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $60,000, to cover the costs associated with organizing and delivering these two workshops in connection with the World Food Prize Borlaug Dialogue convening.Apply for USDA FAS 10777 0700 10 20 0007
