OIRED projects are not limited to agriculture, biotechnology, and
IT, however. Wherever Virginia Tech has expertise and international
funding is available, OIRED may pursue a project. For example: OIRED
is currently working in Ethiopia on a multi-faceted project funded
by the U.S. Agency for International Development. This project taps
Virginia Tech's expertise in nutrition, finance, natural resource
management, gender issues, and extension development. The principal
objective of the project is to address food insecurity in Amhara National
Regional State, but Virginia Tech faculty are also working with local
experts to develop effective HIV/AIDS education programs, study gender
issues, and find better solutions for disaster mitigation.
