Borlaug Fellowship Program

Promoting food security and economic growth by providing training and collaborative research opportunities to fellows from developing and middle-income countries.

The Borlaug Fellowship Program honors Norman E. Borlaug, the American agronomist, humanitarian and Nobel laureate known as the “father of the Green Revolution.” Borlaug fellows are generally scientists, researchers, or policymakers who are in the early or middle stages of their careers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture program connects fellows for a one-on-one mentorship at a U.S. university, research center or government agency, usually for 8-12 weeks. The U.S. mentor will later visit the fellow’s home institution to continue collaboration.
