The Crawford Fund Fellowship was established in 2002 with the generous support of Dr Brian Booth AM FTSE.
The aim of the Fellowship is to provide further training for an agricultural scientist from a selected group of developing countries whose work in the fields of agriculture, fisheries, forestry or environmental protection for development has shown significant potential. The training will take place at an Australian agricultural institution and will emphasise the application of knowledge to increased agricultural production in the recipient’s home country.
The Fellowship is offered annually to an agricultural scientist below the age of 35 years in the year of the award who is a citizen of, or who is working in, one the following countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, East Timor, Fiji, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Kiribati, Vanuatu or Vietnam.
Please note that self-nominations and late nominations will not be accepted.
Nominations must be made by two proposers, one of whom must be an Australian, and the second should be from the candidate’s institution. Nominations must be made on the nomination form available here.
Nominators are strongly encouraged to contact our Director of Capacity Building, Professor Shaun Coffey ([email protected]) to discuss the application before it is finalised and submitted.
