As the sole publicly supported research program offering this service in the U.S., it seeks applicants who can accelerate the registration of newer, reduced-risk pest management tools and expedite their access for growers. Furthermore, successful proposals will focus on conducting efficacy research to identify more effective solutions. The FY 2010 IR-4 Program will fund four regional centers and a national headquarters to achieve these critical objectives.
