      abstract = {Adequately equipped field stations are essential for any  institution involved with applied agricultural research.  The field station is particularly crucial to the  functioning of the network of global international research  centers. The International Center for Agricultural Research  in the Dry Areas addresses issues mainly related to dryland  cropping system of the West Asia and North Africa region.  It extends its effectiveness in northern Syria through a  range of sub-stations and on-farm sites across the rainfall  transect (150-600 mm). This article describes the  environment and management of the Center that backstops its  applied and adaptive research. Particular strengths of the  station are highlighted. Unique features of the station  that further the technology generation and transfer are  described. While some aspects of international research  station management are generic, there are considerations  described that are specific to an evolving dryland research  center in a rapidly changing region.},
