- - Basic Framework
- CRPs are networks of institutes belonging to the National
Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) in Member Countries of FAO or IAEA that agree to work
together on a specific topic or problem relevant to food security in developing countries.
Each CRP normally involves between 10 and 15 institutions.
Cost-sharing Research Contracts (normally around $5,000) are awarded on an annual
basis to institutions in developing countries or countries in transition that submit
technically sound proposals relevant to the subject matter of the CRP in question. Subject
to satisfactory progress, these Contracts can be renewed for up to 5 years - the normal
period covered by a CRP.
Research Agreements are awarded to institutions from more developed countries where
expertise is relevant to the CRP. These are cost-free and are normally valid for the
entire period of the CRP.
Research Co-ordination Meetings (RCMs) of scientists participating in a CRP are
held approximately every 18 months to review progress, to outline plans for future
investigations or to prepare a final report on the results obtained during the course of
the CRP. Travel costs for these meetings are covered from the budget of the Joint FAO/IAEA
Division.
