An overview of the joint research, student training, extension and outreach activities between FAMU and USDA/ARS/CMAVE will be presented. At a special session of the Association of 1890s Research Directors symposium entitled "Fostering Research Partnership Opportunities between 1890 Faculty and USDA-ARS Scientists", collaboration between faculty, scientists, and staff including mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students will be highlighted. |
