International Research Academy

The International Research Academy is a new College of Agriculture program led by International Programs in Agriculture (IPIA). The primary objective of the program is to support faculty members who have an interest in learning more about conducting international research, but have limited prior experience with international activities. The goal is to promote greater understanding of international opportunities, expand campus and off-campus networks, and strengthen the college’s long-term capacity to conduct international research.
