Description
The Regional IPM Competitive Grants Program (RIPM) supports the continuum of research and extension efforts needed to increase the implementation of IPM methods. The RIPM program supports projects that develop individual pest control tactics, integrate individual tactics into an IPM system, and develop and implement extension and education programs. The program is administered by the land-grant university system’s four regional IPM Centers (North Central, Northeastern, Southern, Western) in partnership with CSREES.
The goal of the RIPM program is to provide knowledge and information needed for the implementation of IPM methods that:
• improve the economic benefits related to the adoption of IPM practices;
• reduce potential human health risks from pests and the use of pest management practices; and
• reduce unreasonable adverse environmental effects from pests and the use of pest management practices.
The RIPM program helps achieve this goal by increasing the supply of and dissemination of IPM knowledge and by enhancing collaboration among stakeholders. Because the specific needs of each region vary, regional program priorities will vary. Refer to the Request for Applications (RFA) for regional priorities.
