Submission – USDA/NIFA – Crop
Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) Program (USDA-NIFA-CPPM-008055) REVISED;
March 15, 2021
Purpose: The purpose
of the Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) program is to provide funding for integrated, multifunctional
agricultural research, extension, and education activities. The goals and
objectives of CPPM are to address high priority issues related to pests
including insects, nematodes, pathogens, weeds, and other 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 also 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. In FY 2021, the CPPM program,
through the Applied Research and Development Program (ARDP) and the
Extension Implementation Program (EIP), is soliciting new applications.
Note: There is no limit to the number of ARDP applications that
may be submitted. The EIP area is limited to one application per
institution.
Applications submitted to
EIP should describe institution-based programs that are extension-led but may
include research-demonstration components. Any research activities must be
directly related to the extension program. No more than 20 percent of a
project’s activities may be research-led.EIP
applications must address the program area priorities (see program guidelines
for details):
|
Primary
Priorities Must
include at least one. |
Secondary
Priorities May
be included if appropriate. No single secondary priority may exceed
$50,000 per year. |
