Every year, the Generation Challenge Programme (GCP) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) offers a number of fellowships to developing country crop science researchers wishing to broaden their skills by conducting research outside their home countries/institutions. Applications for 2008 fellowships are now open, under six different themes (including `the use of relatedness information in linkage disequilibrium mapping: pedigree information versus molecular marker information` and `marker-based estimation of coancestry measures in genebank collections`). Deadline is 29 February. See http://www.generationcp.org/latestnews.php?i=967 or contact [email protected] for more information.
