Cinvestav and University of California Alianza MX (UC Alianza MX) are pleased to
announce the first “Call for Collaborative Research Proposals in Basic and Applied
Sciences between Cinvestav and the University of California.”
The main objective of the program is to enable the establishment of new
collaborative research initiatives with potential for creating permanent ties between
Cinvestav and the University of California that will grow and continue with the support
of other institutional and extramural funds.

Proposals are expected to lead to development of major, long-term collaborations
among groups of researchers from both institutions, and to significantly advance
knowledge in agriculture, plant genomics, marine sciences, health, and other related
disciplines with a positive impact on society. The program favors projects that also
enhance student training and researcher exchanges.
