collaborative efforts recently at the Joint Annual Meeting of the American Society of Agronomy, Soil Science Society of America, and Crop Science Society of America. Held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from 5 to 9 November 2000, the meeting featured talks that highlighted the progress of many multiple-CRSP research endeavors. The CRSPs as a group presented a poster titled "Collaborative Research Support Program: Vital Link." in the session on Global Research and Education. The exhibit included several photos and captions to show the activities of the nine CRSP organizations, and it was attended by, among many others, several CRSP principal investigators, board of directors members, and members of management entities. In the Nutrient Management and CRSP Achievements symposium, a group from the Soil Management CRSP presented observations from a multi-CRSP assessment of agricultural research needs and capabilities in Ethiopia. The Sorghum/Millet (INTSORMIL) CRSP added an overview of the purpose and functions of the CRSPs in general and their collaborative efforts in West Africa, Ethiopia, and Mozambique. Members of other CRSPs presented papers on their own research areas, but this meeting’s main draw was its showcasing of overall CRSP impacts and accomplishments worldwide. |
