Training opportunities are for senior and mid-level specialists and administrators working in agricultural trade and policy, agribusiness development, management, animal, plant, and food sciences, extension services, agricultural marketing, and many other areas. Individuals selected for Cochran trainings come from both the public and private sectors. All training occurs in the United States. Training programs are designed and organized in conjunction with U.S. universities, USDA and other government agencies, agribusinesses, and consultants. The Cochran Fellowship Program is part of the United States Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service. Since its start in 1984, the Cochran Fellowship Program has provided U.S.-based training for over 19,250 international participants from 127 countries worldwide. SCOPE Government officials, academia, and architects in Peru need to strengthen their knowledge of technical science-based wood housing building codes and structures. This program on U.S. Softwoods for Structural Material should provide training on the technical science-based standards used for U.S. wood housing building codes and introduce participants to U.S. softwoods and engineered woods and their uses and qualities for building construction. The Fellows should have opportunities to visit softwood plantations, sawmills, wood grading, and standardization facilities, and to see examples of wood housing construction. The Fellows should also meet with representatives of the U.S.
