This report is the second publication in a series of interrelated research-management reports from the Intermediary Biotechnology Service. A forthcoming report will provide a tool for the decision-making process involved in establishing national biotechnology programs, by analyzing this process at three levels: program scientists, sectoral leaders, and national policymakers. Another report will give a detailed overview of international initiatives that have as a common goal the application of biotechnology to tropical agriculture, and reviews the possibilities for national institutions in developing countries to collaborate on these activities.
