GCP is delighted to announce its first call for proposals for the Genotyping Support Service. This service was jointly launched by Subprogramme 5, in collaboration with the other GCP Subprogrammes, to promote the use of molecular markers to assess the potential value of germplasm and breeding materials for relevant agronomic traits. This will help GCP reach more national research programmes and should help bridge the gap between molecular laboratories and field practitioners.

This call is directed to functional breeding programmes of National Agricultural Research Systems, academia or civil society organisations in developing countries. 

Closing date for submission of draft proposals (Appendix 4): 15 October 2007
