Opportunity Summary:
The Regional Integrated Pest Management Competitive Grants Program, Western Region (W-RIPM), was a FY 2010 discretionary grant opportunity offered by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). Its purpose was to support projects that advance national Integrated Pest Management (IPM) goals by expanding the development and sharing of IPM knowledge and by strengthening collaboration among the many groups involved in pest management. The program emphasized practical, regionally relevant work that improves how pests are managed in agriculture and related settings, with a clear focus on building and spreading tools, research findings, and educational approaches that stakeholders can actually use.
For FY 2010, NIFA estimated total program funding at about $650,000, with an expectation of making roughly 8 awards. Individual awards were expected to fall between $80,000 and $180,000. The funding instrument was a grant, and the opportunity was categorized under Agriculture as well as Disaster Prevention and Relief, Environment, and Natural Resources. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which generally lowers the barrier for applicants by not requiring them to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was tightly defined and tied to the Western IPM Region. While project teams could include research and extension personnel from other USDA/IPM regions, applications themselves would only be accepted from Project Directors based in the Western IPM Region. Eligible applicants for research awards included 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. Eligibility for extension awards was narrower, limited to 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 announcement also made clear that awardees could subcontract to organizations that were not eligible to apply directly, as long as those partners were needed to carry out the work, but failure to meet eligibility criteria by the deadline would prevent NIFA from accepting the application or making an award.
The opportunity was posted on October 30, 2009, with an application deadline of December 17, 2009, and it was later archived on February 17, 2010. The funding opportunity number listed for the program was USDA NIFA RIPM 002668, and it was associated with CFDA number 10.200, Grants for Agricultural Research, Special Research Grants. For support accessing the full announcement or for questions related to the request for applications (RFA), NIFA directed applicants to its Help Desk at 202-401-5048 during weekday business hours (7:00 am to 5:00 pm Eastern Time).
