Overview of the Collection
Historical NoteThe Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture Collaborative Research Support Program is an international effort to develop aquacultural technology as a means of confronting food security problems in developing countries. A cohesive research program is carried out in selected developing countries and the United States by teams of U.S. and host country scientists. The Program is funded by U.S. Agency for International Development. Oregon State University is the Management Entity for the program and has technical, administrative, and fiscal responsibility for the performance of grant provisions. Research programs have been conducted in Egypt, Honduras, Indonesia, Panama, the Philippines, Rwanda, and Thailand. The program was formally initiated in 1982. In 2006, Oregon State University was awarded a five-year grant by the U.S. Agency for International Development to lead the Aquaculture and Fisheries (also known as Aquafish) Collaborative Research Support Program, a new research program to improve access to fish and water resources in developing countries. Content DescriptionThe International Research and Development Office Records consist solely of the reports and publications generated by the Pond/Dynamics/Aquaculture Collaborative Research Support Program. The records include administrative reports, technical reports, catalogs of publications, and the programs' newsletter. The administrative reports provide information on the finances and management of the program as well as summaries of the research programs and lists of publications resulting from the research. The technical reports provide specific research program accomplishments. The records also include a final report of the Egypt project, published in 1995. Aquanews is the quarterly newsletter of the program and provides non-technical information to program participants through news stories and information on project activities, meetings, travel, and site visits.
