Funding Opportunities for the Western IPM Center

The IR-4 Biopesticide Research Program Seeks Proposals for 2005
Application Deadline: November 15, 2004

Date: August 10, 2004

Colleagues:

Here is a terrific competitive grant opportunity for bio-based research that should be of interest to researchers working in the bio-pesticide aspects of organic production, sustainable agriculture or bio-based IPM. The deadline to apply is November 15, 2004.

It is not a large program in dollars, but has a strong and positive record of funding research that has lead to new reduced risk product development and registrations in specialty crop production systems.

Check it our and if it is not for you, share it with a colleague working with the reduced risk or bio-based pest management programs. The program information is at the following URL:
