Hello -

EPA's new Regional Agriculture IPM Grants Program announcement has been posted to:

http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/grants/proposals/2011-regional-ag-ipm-grants.pdf

It can also be accessed from the following web pages:
http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/
http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/grants/index.htm
http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/grants/grants.htm
We'll also be providing links to it from http://www.epa.gov/pestwise and OPP will be including it in their pesticides listserve announcements.

The closing date is September 19th.

EPA's Strategic Agricultural Initiative (SAI) Program is sunsetting in 2011 and we are combining the Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP) and the SAI Grant Programs into one new Regional Ag. IPM Grants Program. Many of you have applied for either or both SAI and PESP grants in past years. I encourage all of you to take a look at the RFA and to apply if you have any projects that fit the criteria.

Please forward this to anyone else you know who might be interested in EPA's Regional Ag. IPM Program. As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks for all you do to support agriculture and IPM.
