The 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.
An addition to the International Research and Development Office Records (Accession 2010:063) consists of five reports documenting projects for the Women in International Development program, administered at OSU by the Office of International Research and Development. The reports consist of the following: "Proceedings of the Colloquium on Rwanda Women in Aquaculture"; "An Approach To Integrate Gender Variable in Rwanda Pond Dynamics and Aquaculture Collaborative Research Support Program"; "Rwanda Women in Aquaculture: Context, Contributions and Constraints"; "FAO/ESHW Consultancy for Curriculum Development: Women in Agriculture-Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University, India"; and "Socio-Economic Analysis of Agro-Based Women's Income Generating Activities for Women Farmers in Malawi."
The 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.
