Research programs
ACIAR R&D programs are responsible for developing, monitoring and evaluating projects. Multilateral R&D is delivered through a combination of core funding to International Agricultural Research Centres (IARCs) and funding of individual projects, administered by program areas. ACIAR’s teams of Research Managers and staff, with particular experience and skill in the major agricultural and natural resource management, forestry, fisheries and economics disciplines relevant to developing countries, are critical to ACIAR’s role as a facilitator and funder of agricultural research for development. These disciplines are broadly clustered around the areas of economics; crops; natural resources management; and livestock and fisheries:
