Western Region IPM Competitive Grants Program: Application Deadline February 18, 2005
Executive Summary:
The Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service (CSREES) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture requests applications for the Regional Integrated Pest Management Competitive Grants Program for fiscal year (FY) 2005 to support the continuum of research and extension efforts needed to increase the implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) methods.
The Regional IPM Competitive Grants Program supports projects that develop individual pest management tactics, integrate individual tactics into an IPM system, and develop and implement extension IPM education programs.
The program is administered by the land-grant university system's four regions (North Central, Northeastern, Southern, and Western) in partnership with CSREES. In FY 2005, CSREES anticipates that approximately $655,000 will be available for support of the IPM Competitive Grants Program - Western Region (W-IPM). Approximately $420,000 is expected to be available for research projects, $70,000 for extension projects, and $165,000 for joint research-extension projects.
