Description
The
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Institute of Food and
Agriculture (NIFA) announced the Crop Protection and Pest Management
Competitive Grants Program (USDA-NIFA-CPPM-006536) to address critical state,
regional and national integrated pest management (IPM) needs to ensure food
security and respond effectively to other major societal pest management
challenges. The CPPM program supports projects that address these challenges
with IPM approaches developed by coordinated state, regional, and national
research and extension efforts. The impact of these research and extension
efforts will be increased by the establishment of communication networks and
stakeholder participation in setting priorities. In FY 2018, NIFA will only
accept applications for funding in the Applied Research and Development Program
Area (ARDP) and the Regional Coordination Program Area (RCP) of the CPPM
program. A 100% cost match is required.
