The Southern Integrated Pest Management Center is proud to announce the call for Proposals for our Annual Southern IPM Grants Program.

Formerly Enhancement Grants, our annual competitive grants program, Southern IPM Grants, regionally address Global Food Security challenges including invasive species, endangered species, pest resistance, and impacts resulting from regulatory actions. We use a competitive process each year to solicit and select projects for funding.

All projects must further our mission, which is to foster the development and adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a science-based approach to managing pests in ways that generate economic, environmental, and human health benefits. Funding is outcome-based.

Funding Categories:
-Seed Projects
-Capstone Projects
-Working Groups (New or Continuing)

Funding Amounts:
Targeted total funding for all Seed, Capstone, and Working Group projects is $250,000. Most projects are limited to $30,000 although in special circumstances IPM Working Group proposals may qualify for up to $40,000 per proposal.

We recommend reading through the entire RFA before beginning your planning.
