Opportunity Summary:
The Regional Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Competitive Grants Program for the Southern Region is a USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) discretionary grant opportunity designed to move pest management solutions from research into real-world use. The program is built around the idea that successful IPM requires a connected pipeline of work, starting with the development of specific pest control tactics, then combining those tactics into practical IPM systems, and finally delivering education and extension efforts that help growers, land managers, and other stakeholders adopt those approaches. In other words, it funds projects that do the science, translate it into workable strategies, and then actively support implementation through outreach and training.
This opportunity falls under CFDA 10.200 (Grants for Agricultural Research, Special Research Grants) and supports work in environmental science and technology and related research and development areas. The program is administered through the network of four regional IPM Centers (North Central, Northeastern, Southern, and Western) in partnership with NIFA, with this specific announcement focused on proposals serving the Southern Region. The overall purpose is to increase the on-the-ground implementation of IPM methods, which typically emphasize coordinated pest prevention and suppression strategies that can reduce unnecessary pesticide use, slow resistance development, and improve environmental and economic outcomes while still protecting crops and other managed systems.
The estimated total funding available under this Southern Region competition is $800,000. Individual awards can be as large as $171,000, and there is no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The announcement specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility depends on whether the project is submitted as a research award or an extension award. For research awards, eligible applicants include state agricultural experiment stations; 1862 and 1890 land-grant colleges and universities (explicitly 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. For extension awards, eligibility is narrower and includes 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 in the source also notes "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the detailed eligibility language provided centers on these institution types.
Key timing information from the notice shows it was posted and created on April 2, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 16, 2013, and an archive date of June 15, 2013. Applicants needing help accessing the announcement or dealing with electronic issues are directed to the NIFA Help Desk (202-401-5048) during business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern, excluding federal holidays).
