I would be grateful if you would circulate the following information to scientists and researchers working on agriculture in Africa, and where appropriate, place this announcement in newsletters and on websites. See below and attached for further details. The deadline for receipt of pre-proposals under the current call is *19^th June 2009*. For this call, Fellowships will be for a maximum period of 6 months. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *The African Fellows Programme*. The aim of the African Fellows Programme (AFP) is to support sustainable agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa by catalysing innovative solutions needed to achieve food security. Projects should focus on specific problems in agriculture with a researchable constraint. They should also aim to develop lasting partnerships and strategic alliances that will help in developing local scientific capacity relevant to sustainable agricultural production. The potential impact of the project on small-holder farmers will be a major consideration during proposal assessment. African scientists will carry out research projects at a partner European research institute, or university, for a maximum period of 6 months. Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis in a two stage assessment process. Research projects must:- • focus on solving an agricultural problem with a researchable constraint • demonstrate how the knowledge gained will be applied to benefit small-holder African farmers • be of high quality science Examples of potential project areas include crop nutrition, soil fertility, post-harvest technology, alternative crops, livestock management and plant protection. The programme CANNOT support field work in Africa. Projects focusing on food processing and socio-economic research are not within the remit of the programme. MSc and PhD studies will not be funded. Pre-proposal concept notes are now invited for the ninth round of this Programme. Pre-proposals should be submitted by 17:00 hours (GMT) on *Friday 19th June 2009* by email. Applicants can obtain further details and guidelines from the Rothamsted International web site: http://www.rothamsted-international.org/afp/index.shtml Further details can also be obtained by emailing (rothamsted.international(a)bbsrc.ac.uk) or by writing to the AFP Coordinator at Rothamsted International, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, AL5 2JQ, UK.
