National Pork Board Professional Student Fellowship RFP
February 5, 2020 —
Labor supply at all levels is a critical issue across the U.S. pork industry. Since 2010, the National Pork Board (NPB) has annually sponsored more than 20 scholarships aimed at supporting undergraduate students who are committed to a career in the swine industry using advanced degrees in a swine-related field. Past Pork Checkoff-funded research has supported graduate students related to specific research priorities. With a recent change to NPB's research-funding operations, there is an opportunity to ensure funding of professional student (MS, PhD, Veterinary-PhD) education and training in critical areas of study. This includes traditional and non-traditional disciplines that could help fill the pipeline of highly skilled employees to the pork industry.
