Training

The ACIAR training program has four elements:

1. Fellowships for postgraduate students (John Allwright Fellowships)

2. Postgraduate returnee follow-up awards (Returnee Small Project Awards Scheme)

3. Non-award training (short courses and workshops)

4. Support for the Crawford Fund, both through management of the Australian Government's contribution ($0.65 million) and sponsorship of attendees at Masterclasses and other selected training activities.

Much of ACIAR's training is carried out systematically within individual projects. In addition, specialised, discipline-specific training activities may also occur within ACIAR's individual research and development programs.

The objective of the Fellowship Scheme is to increase the research and development capacity of ACIAR partner country institutions. It provides funding for promising overseas staff associated with ACIAR projects to undertake postgraduate studies in tertiary institutions in Australia.
