IPM Grant Programs

The Northeastern Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Center has opened its annual request for applications (RFA) for projects seeking funding through the IPM Partnership Grants Program in 2025, with an application deadline of November 14, 2024.

Please note: The Center’s RFA was revised on October 3, 2024—superseding some initial announcements—as follows:

  • The revised RFA is soliciting proposals only for six-month projects starting March 1, 2025, and ending by August 31, 2025.
  • The deadline for proposal submissions was moved to November 14, 2024.
  • The informational webinar, originally scheduled for October 1, 2024, was postponed until October 9 (recording available, see below).

IPM Partnership Grants Program

The IPM Partnership Grants Program supports three project types: IPM Applied Research, IPM Working Groups, and IPM Communications.

Up to $160,000 in total will be available for 2025, generally with a maximum of $40,000 per award, although projects that meet the criteria for a diversity-focused competitive preference priority may apply for up to an additional $10,000.

Funded projects are expected to contribute significantly to the adoption and/or development of IPM in one or more of the Center’s Signature Programs while addressing one or more of the Center’s cross-cutting issues (www.northeastipm.org/about-us/signature-programs/).

There is a 6-month time limit on funded projects.

The Center’s grants programs are supported by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-NIFA).

Informational Webinar

The Center hosted an informational webinar for prospective applicants on October 9, 2024. The recording is available at neipmc.org/go/rfawebinar2024.
