John L. Griffis Jr., Berne Davis Chair for Horticultural Education & Research, Florida Gulf Coast University, Ft Myers, FL
Although horticulture researchers are often interested in projects and programs with international components, they frequently find that funding to support these projects can be difficult to secure. Some of the traditional sources that do fund international projects and cooperators, such as certain USDA grants, are highly competitive with very low rates of applicant success. However, there are numerous other sources for international project funding, some with very few applicants. Several of these other sources of international grant funding opportunities, such as the UNCCD, will be presented and discussed.
