Presenting the CRSPs on Capitol Hill

n Washington, DC, the PD/A CRSP recently joined the other eight CRSPs in presenting program goals, methods, and accomplishments to the interested public. Held on March 5, the fourth annual exhibition on Capitol Hill, which was sponsored by the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC), allowed the CRSPs and other exhibitors to highlight the benefits gained from federal investments in food and agricultural research and education. The exhibition included more than 40 multimedia displays from federally supported research and education programs, including the CRSPs, with the intent to demonstrate these programs’ range of accomplishments and objectives for agricultural development in the US and in recipient countries worldwide. The CRSP Council presented a display entitled “Stronger Agriculture Worldwide: Collaborative Research Support Programs.”
