Cornell University dedicates the "Frosty" Hill Agricultural Research Fellowship to the memory of Dr. Forrest F. Hill, co founder of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), in honor of his significant contributions to the application of agricultural sciences in addressing critical world food problems. The Fellowship provides financial support for selected senior scientists from international centers supported by or affiliated with the CGIAR to spend from 3 to 12 months with scientists at Cornell University. More importantly, this Fellowship creates opportunities for scientists from the major international centers to work together with scientists from Cornell on significant agricultural problems of mutual priority and concern. Scientists from both institutions benefit through the enhancement of their respective research capabilities on both basic and applied aspects of specific agricultural problems facing developing nations. Cornell University faculty and students benefit through close association with outstanding scientists who are concentrating on applied and specialized development problems. International centers benefit through the exposure of their scientists to new scientific methods and to basic and applied research efforts of direct relevance to their research programs and mandates.
