Support the Sustainable Operations of Current or New ARIA Research Lab and Field Facilities‌ Facilities: Connecting ARIA to Digital Research Resources (Digital Libraries) During this reporting period, GRAIN formally launched three Research Resource Centers (RRCs) at Kabul, Nangarhar, and Balkh ARIA Research Stations. RRCs are equipped with computers, a printer, and internet which enables visitors to search a platform with 30 open access sources of credible research data and publications. This platform was developed through the support of MSU’s Agricultural Science Library Resource Officer. RCCs are also equipped with a print library with 31 titles on a wide range of subjects recommended by CIMMYT and informed by researchers’ feedback on the Digital Library Survey. RRC facilities enable ARIA/MAIL and partner universities’ researchers and students to join the international research communities in their fields of study and have access to and use of relevant, recent, and scientifically refereed literature and communities of practice. Prior to the launching, digital library familiarization trainings were provided through the engagement of a PhD-level local consultant at each digital library in Kabul, Nangarhar, and Balkh provinces. In total 98 participants (seven women) from ARIA, KU, Agriculture and Veterinary Institute (AVI), CAAI, and GRAIN attended a two-day training. Disaggregated geographically, this includes 48 participants (five women) from Kabul on 27-28 October, 24 ARIA Researchers attending posttest of the digital library familiarization training participants (0 women) from Nangarhar on 30-31 October, and 26 participants (two women) from Balkh on 27-28 November respectively. Moving forward, the RRCs will be staffed by interns who will maintain the functionality of the centers, monitor use, and assist users with technical difficulties. The RRC interns were recruited through a competitive process, with an emphasis on skills and education in information technology systems (IT), English- language skills, and online research experience. Interns will receive initial training in Q2, focused on online research techniques in agriculture, familiarity with the resources provided in the Digital Library, and GRAIN guidance on facility maintenance and reporting. Following initial training, RRC Interns will have ongoing support from GRAIN’s technical teams and receive refresher training at least quarterly. Use of the facilitates will be monitored in order for GRAIN to track the usability and frequency of use o...

Support the Sustainable Operations of Current or New ARIA Research Lab and Field Facilities‌ Activity 1.C.3: Support of Sustainable Operations of Current or New ARIA Research Lab and Identifying a Wheat Quality Lab to Support Testing Capacity: As reported in the previous quarter, in preliminary analysis, 32 Afghan wheat varieties were shown to have very poor end-use (baking) characteristics or potential. Reports from CIMMYT this quarter indicate that Afghan germplasm grown in Mexico proved to be more favorable in baking functionality than when grown in Afghanistan. Similar improved quality (baking potential), has been observed with same-source germplasm wheat grown in neighboring central Asian countries. Given these preliminary results, GRAIN’s intended role in improving wheat quality in Afghanistan centers on supporting MAIL/ARIA in developing a robust breeding program to introgress more than adequate end-use quality into Afghan wheat, and to continue supporting ARIA in agronomic trials evaluating practices that may improve one or more quality factors. Furthermore, GRAIN proposes identifying a nearby wheat quality lab (for example, in India), which can be utilized for the identification of lines from introgressed quality genes and to enable convenient shipping of samples for quality analysis. Additionally, the Lactic Acid Sedimentation Test, a rapid, simple, comparison test that can be used to determine relative differences in wheat and flour quality, may be very useful for rapid in-country analysis. In PY3 work planning, GRAIN and partners are pursuing plans to train ARIA staff to implement this test. In pursuing both an out-of-country lab partner and presenting reasonable alternatives for rapid in-country analysis, and considering ARIA’s breeding and agronomic research programs, GRAIN’s recommendation is that this is a prudent and viable alternative for quality testing of breeding program lines for the next five to eight years. Connecting ARIA to Digital Research Resources (Digital Libraries): To join the international research communities in their fields of study, it is imperative that MAIL and University researchers have access to relevant, recent, and scientifically refereed literature and communities of practice. GRAIN and ARIA leadership at the national and provincial levels have discussed the value of connecting provincial research stations to online and digital reference libraries to improve researchers’ access to and use of international and regional publications to inform their research me...
