Information about the Northeast IPM Competitive Grants Program

The FY 2001 Northeast Regional IPM Grants Program has funded six different proposals funded for extension, research, and research/extension.. Four of these involve multi-state cooperation of collaborators although the results of all of these projects should be useful in numerous states.

Each year the Northeast Region Integrated Pest Management Grants Program supports selected research and extension projects. Funds for this program originate at the USDA and are matched in part by the institutions sponsoring each project. The projects described here were selected by the regional review committee, and approved by USDA.

A competitive grant proposal process is used to select projects for funding. Proposals are reviewed and rated by a review committee comprised of experts in IPM from outside the region. The criteria for judging proposals this year included:

• Relevance to the Northeast Region IPM priorities, including explicit linkage to stakeholder expressed needs.
• Appropriate objectives, design, and methodology
• Degree of interdisciplinary and/or multi-organization collaboration, including appropriate state-wide and multiple state collaboration among research, extension, private consultants, industry, and the user community, appropriately scaled to the problem
• Appropriate strategy/process to evaluate the success or the project, including milestones, developed by IPM implementation team
• Appropriateness of the budget
• Professional expertise of the project team.
