Wanted: global rice science scholars


The Philippines
March, 2011

If you are about to enroll or conduct your Ph.D. research, you could be one of a new generation of rice scientists with a Global Rice Science Scholarship (GRiSS).

The 2011 GRiSS offers young agricultural scientists the chance to be experts in a scientific discipline and to have a broader understanding of global issues that affect rice science for development.

This is a great opportunity for scientists early in their career who are working in a national agricultural research and extension system in developing countries. 

Research areas covered by the scholarship include rice science and related systems research, particularly on agronomy, crop physiology, entomology, plant pathology, soil and water science,plant breeding, and the social sciences.

GRiSS falls under the framework of the Global Rice Science Partnership (GRiSP), a single strategic goal and work plan for global rice research. GRiSP is led by IRRI and involves other centers under the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research.
