The Southern Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Center is pleased to announce the call for proposals for the 2023 Southern IPM Grants.
The Southern IPM Center is housed at NC State and UGA and is funded by USDA-NIFA.
What is a Southern IPM Grant?
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.
We recommend reading through the entire RFA before beginning your planning.
