I would like to make you aware of an interesting research and capacity building opportunity. The Animal Production and Health Section of the Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture in Vienna, Austria. Specifically, the IAEA is calling for proposals for a new Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on “Improving Efficiency of National Livestock Breeding Programmes Using Nuclear and Related Genomic Information – Practical Applications in Developing Countries”.

CRP are research networks of around 10 scientists/institutions in developing countries, approximately 5 international experts, and staff of the Joint Centre. The livestock CRP address applications of nuclear related technologies and biotechnologies to support more sustainable livestock production.

More information about the CRP, including links to application forms, can be found here:

NEW CRP: Improving Efficiency of National Livestock Breeding Programmes Using Nuclear and Related Genomic Information – Practical Applications in Developing Countries (D31030) | IAEA

If you have any questions about the CRP, feel free to contact me () and/or my colleages Victor Tsuma (), Kathiravan Periasamy () or Mario Garcia ().
