The Crawford Fund Fellowship was established in 2002 with the generous support of Dr Brian Booth AM FTSE.
The aim of the Fellowship is to provide further training of a
scientist in agriculture, fisheries or forestry from a selected group of
developing countries, whose work has shown significant potential. The
training will take place at an Australian agricultural institution and

production in the Fellow’s home country.
The Fellowship is offered annually to an agricultural scientist below

following countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma, Cambodia, East Timor,
Fiji, Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon
Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Kiribati, Vanuatu, Vietnam.
The aim of the Fellowship is to provide further training to a
