Priorities in biotechnology research for international development

The National Academy of Sciences held a workshop in Berkeley Spring, West Virginia, July 26-30, 1982 on this topic at the request of the U.S. Agency for International Development. The proceedings of the workshop were published that same year, and were widely distributed. Following up on the workshop, projects in medical and agricultural biotechnology were initiated by USAID.

Twenty-four years after the workshop, there is a large literature on the topic, and I am beginning social bookmarking of some of the key links on the Internet on the topic.
