| The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has joined with several U.S. Government (USG) supported agencies to support Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER). Administered by the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), PEER is a competitive grants program that invites scientists in developing countries, partnered with USG-supported collaborators, to apply for funds to support research and capacity-building activities on topics with strong potential development impacts. This innovative program is designed to leverage the investments other USG-supported agencies have made in scientific research and training while supporting the initiatives of developing country scientists.

| | | PEER SPOTLIGHT | |  | 2019 PEER Forum - Transboundary Water Research in Central Asia
October 21-24, 2019
Tashkent, Uzbekistan
The objective of the 2019 PEER forum was to convene the Central Asia PEER cohort one final time under a forward looking agenda focusing on the program’s results, impacts and how to best sustain the research partnership beyond the lifetime of PEER. As most current PEER projects in the region are reaching their conclusion, PIs were invited to present their research results, share best practices, and discuss ways to maintain engagement moving forward. In addition, US experts and partners working on water resources management, climate change, agriculture, and other related topics were invited to present on best practices from a US perspective. Finally, local stakeholders and international donors shared updates on their priorities and informed the discussion on how evidence generated by PEER can best translate into new policies. The final two days were dedicated to an intense training on the Open Data Kit taught by Dr. Andrew Bell of New York University. Forum presentations are available on the forum webpage.
