  The arguments suggesting an association between the sources of cosmological
gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
(UHECRs) are presented. Recent GRB and UHECR observations are shown to
strengthen these arguments. Predictions of the GRB model for UHECR production,
that may be tested with large area high energy cosmic-ray detectors which are
either operating or under construction, are outlined.
