FELLOWSHIP: Conservation and Use of Forest Genetic Resources in Sub-Saharan Africa (Bioversity)
The Abdou-Salam Ouédraogo (ASO) Fellowship is awarded annually by Bioversity International to a young forest genetic resources scientist in Sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose of the Fellowship is to give talented African scientists working on forest genetic resources an opportunity to develop their capacity through interaction with, and mentorship by a scientist at Bioversity International.
The Fellowship, of an amount up to US$ 10,000, should address a topic announced in this call and be completed within 12 months. The 2012 Fellowship is targeting research on the following priority topics:
- Understanding status of and threats to genetic resources of priority forest tree species
- Methods and approaches for conserving genetic resources of important tree species
The research outputs of the Fellowship will contribute to:
- Bioversity’s Forest Genetics Resources Conservation and Use Programme www.bioversityinternational.org/research/conservation/forests_and_trees.html
