Summary
A fellowship for individual scientists, not a grant for organisations. The OECD funds research visits of 6 to 26 weeks to another country participating in the Co-operative Research Programme, covering economy travel and a weekly subsistence allowance. Applications for 2027 closed on 10 September 2026; Ukraine joined the programme in July 2026.
About the call
The OECD Co-operative Research Programme (CRP) research fellowships let scientists in agriculture, forestry and fisheries carry out a research project abroad, in another participating country, for 6 to 26 weeks. Applicants must be residents of a CRP participating country; Ukraine and Brazil joined the programme in July 2026.
The fellowship covers travel (based on a return economy ticket, depending on distance) and subsistence for the whole fellowship period. Costs for family members are not covered. The programme targets experienced researchers (around 4 years of postdoctoral work), not PhD students.
2027 themes: sustainable productivity growth and food security, climate risks and emissions in agriculture, halting forest loss and land degradation, environmental impacts of livestock, biodiversity, soil, water and air quality, agricultural knowledge transfer, and sustainable fisheries and aquaculture.
