The Cooperative State, Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES)
is pleased to announce the release of the FY 2007 Request for Applications
(RFA) for the Special Research Grants Program-Pest Management Alternatives

Changes in FY 2007:
In fiscal year 2007 there are some major changes
regarding submission of proposals to CSREES. First, all applications
submitted to CSREES must use the new SF-424 R&R (Research and Related)
forms. Second,
a number of the agency’s programs will be requiring electronic
submission of proposals through Grants.gov, including PMAP. (See
the table at the following web page for a listing of the authorized submission
formats for CSREES programs: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/funding/fy07changes.) Please
allow yourself extra time to make sure your institution is registered
with Grants.gov, time to familiarize yourself with the electronic submission
process and the new forms, and time to submit. Note: all
attachments in an application must be in portable document format (PDF). We
encourage you to review “A Guide for Preparation and Submission
of CSREES Applications via Grants.gov” prior to attempting to submit
a proposal electronically for the first time; you can access the guide
