Cultivating the next generation of leaders in agriculture. 

Supported by United State Department of Agriculture Hispanic-Serving Institutions funding, the Center for Information Technology in the Interest of Society, the Wonderful Company, Almond Board of California, our affiliated partners and the esteemed faculty of UC Merced, we expand research training opportunities to our diverse population of students. The program aims to attract outstanding students and produce graduates capable of enhancing the nation’s food and agricultural scientific and professional work force.

Our fellows have higher rates of graduation than their peers, and many have built successful careers in science.
