The authors review the history and rationale of the CRSP concept and the basic organizational structure of the five CRSPs represented (Bean/Cowpea, Nutrition, Peanut, Small Ruminant, Sorghum/Millet); present examples of social science contributions to these programs; and discuss the difficulties and the rewards of collaborative, interdisciplinary agricultural R&D.
