Awards of USD $5,000 each are available to up to five full-time scientists working in an African NARES institution (National Agricultural Research and Extension System) or African university. The award encourages scientific programs focused on understanding and improving phosphorus (P) management in Africa’s field or tree crop agroecosystems.
.
Eligibility:
- Applicants must be full time scientists working at an African NARES institution or university. Applications from scientists in Post Doctorate positions are also eligible for this award. Only applicants who have completed their Ph.D. program will be considered.
- Applicants must submit a creative proposal that addresses current knowledge gaps or synthesizes existing information leading to improved P management. Of particular interest are proposals that can address P management in combination with at least one of APNI’s high priority topics below:
- 4R Nutrient Stewardship (eg, matching crop growth dynamics with P applications based on adjustments in source, rate, time, or placement)
- Carbon farming (eg, biomass turnover and P applications)
- Soil health (eg, residue management and soil P status, innovative P use and cropping system diversification, P management and dynamics in no-till systems, management of P in problem soils such as high P-fixing soils)
- Precision farming (eg, innovations in addressing P variability at field scale)
- Evidence of any scientific partnerships and institutional collaboration will be reviewed favorably. Female scientists are especially encouraged to apply.
