Reseach briefs for the Seventh Graduate Research Grants Call

Abstract: 
The Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture with support from the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases have funded eight Graduate Research Grants (GRG) aimed at building the capability of graduate and post-graduate level students in Africa to conduct applied research on agricultural greenhouse gases. Each GRA-GRG supports a Principal Investigator (an individual senior lecturer of a RUFORUM member university) and two Masters Students to undertake research and training on topics related to the measurement and management of greenhouse gas emissions and removals in ruminant farming systems in Sub-Saharan Africa over a two-year period.
