Opportunity Summary:
The Regional Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Competitive Grants Program for the North Central Region is a USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen and expand the real-world use of integrated pest management. The central purpose is to support the full pipeline of work needed to move IPM forward, from developing specific pest control tactics, to combining those tactics into effective IPM systems, to delivering extension, education, and outreach that help producers and other stakeholders adopt these practices. The program is run through the land-grant university system's network of four regional IPM Centers (North Central, Northeastern, Southern, and Western) in partnership with NIFA, with this particular competition focused on the North Central Region.
This opportunity funds projects that address pests in agricultural and related settings using science-based approaches that reduce reliance on single-method control and instead emphasize integrated strategies. That can include research that improves individual tools (such as monitoring methods, thresholds, biological controls, host resistance, cultural practices, or targeted pesticide use), applied work that stitches those tools together into a coherent IPM program for a crop or production system, and extension-focused efforts that translate research findings into practical guidance, training, and education. The overall emphasis is on increasing implementation, meaning proposals are expected to lead to measurable adoption or improved decision-making in pest management, rather than remaining purely theoretical.
The program uses the grant funding instrument and falls under an environment, science and technology, and other research and development activity category. It is listed under CFDA 10.200 (Grants for Agricultural Research, Special Research Grants). For this specific posting, the estimated total funding amount is $750,000, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $175,000 per grant. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility varies depending on whether the application is for a Research award or an Extension award. Organizations eligible for Research awards include state agricultural experiment stations; 1862 and 1890 land-grant colleges and universities (including Tuskegee University and West Virginia State University); 1994 land-grant colleges and universities; research foundations established by land-grant institutions; colleges and universities receiving funds under the Act of October 10, 1962 (16 USC 582a et seq.); accredited schools or colleges of veterinary medicine; and the University of the District of Columbia. Organizations eligible for Extension awards include 1862 and 1890 land-grant colleges and universities (again including Tuskegee University and West Virginia State University) and the University of the District of Columbia. The listing also labels eligible applicants broadly as "Others" with a note to consult the opportunity's eligibility section for the precise categories above.
Key administrative details from the posting include a posted date of January 3, 2012, with an application deadline of February 29, 2012, and an archive date of March 30, 2012. The funding opportunity number is USDA NIFA RIPM 003630, and the title is "Regional Integrated Pest Management Competitive Grants Program - North Central Region."
