About the Organization

The Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases brings countries together to find ways to grow more food without growing greenhouse gas emissions.

Agriculture plays a vital role in food security, poverty reduction and sustainable development. The agriculture sector is impacted by climate change, is a significant source of greenhouse gases and faces significant challenges in meeting a dramatic increase in global food demand, while reducing its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.

About the Fellowship

We are pleased to announce Round 7 of the CLIFF-GRADS Fellowship Programme is now open for student applications!

The Climate, Food and Farming, Global Research Alliance Development Scholarships (CLIFF-GRADS) Programme is a joint initiative of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA), the Global Methane Hub, and CGIAR Climate Action Program. CLIFF-GRADS builds capability in early-career scientists from developing countries to conduct applied research in agriculture greenhouse gas emissions quantification and mitigation.

Successful applicants to the CLIFF-GRADS programme will go on short term (4-6 month) research stays at a host institution and will:

• Gain experience in the measurement, modelling and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, or carbon storage in agricultural systems relevant to developing countries;
• Build networks and experience other cultures; and
• Gain access to equipment and methodologies used by other institutions.

• From developing countries;
• Undertaking their PhD in a University in a developing country; and
