The Southern Integrated Pest Management Center announced the release of the 2022 Southern IPM Grants Request for Applications (RFA). Deadline for proposals is Nov. 18 at 5 p.m. Eastern.
The 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. The Center uses a competitive process each year to solicit and select projects for funding.
Center staff recommend reading through the entire RFA at https://forms.gle/RSASc7zvxPFuBUCQA before beginning your planning and to give yourself ample time to enter your information into our online grant management system.
Funding categories include:
- Seed Projects
- Capstone Projects
- Working Groups (New or Continuing)
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.
The review panel for Southern IPM Grants sits in mid January to make decisions regarding the funding of proposals. Applicants will be notified in a timely manner so projects can begin on March 1.
