Agency

Department of Agriculture - National Institute of Food and Agriculture
(NIFA)
Description
The
purpose of the Crop Protection and Pest Management program is to address high
priority issues related to pests and their management using integrated
pest management (IPM)
approaches at the state, regional and national levels. The CPPM program
supports projects that will ensure food security and respond effectively to
other major societal pest management challenges with comprehensive IPM
approaches that are economically viable, ecologically prudent, and safe for
human health. The CPPM program addresses IPM challenges for emerging issues and
existing priority pest concerns that can be addressed more effectively with new
and emerging technologies. The outcomes of the CPPM program are effective,
affordable, and environmentally sound IPM practices and strategies needed to
maintain agricultural productivity and healthy communities.
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 2019, NIFA will only accept
applications for funding in the Applied Research and Development Program Area
(ARDP) of the CPPM program.
