Pest Management; June 24, 2014
Agency
Name
USAID
Description
Feed the Future Innovation Labs, formerly
known as the Collaborative Research Support Programs (CRSPs),
are authorized under Title XII of the FAA. Feed the Future Innovation Labs
(Innovation Labs) are USAID-funded long-term, multi-disciplinary applied
research and capacity-building efforts to address the problem of food
insecurity and malnutrition in developing countries. Managed by U.S.
universities, Innovation Labs support students and researchers in the U.S. and
around the world to work with leading scientists in seeking scientific
solutions to overcome hunger and poverty, while building the capacity of the
institutions with which they collaborate. The principal partners in this
research and training are scientists from U.S. universities, working in
collaboration with scientists in developing country universities, national and
international research centers, the private sector, and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), to jointly pursue scientific investigations to overcome
critical agricultural constraints facing today’s global food systems. The IPM
Innovation Lab, for which applications are requested by this RFA, will engage
U.S. university capacity to conduct research on integrated pest management
(IPM) and address key issues related to the adoption of IPM strategies and
technologies by smallholder farmers and other beneficiaries of USAID
assistance. The IPM Innovation Lab is described in more detail in Section I of
this RFA.
