The CSREES department is offering competitive grants across three Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to advance sustainable agricultural practices in the U.S. The Crops at Risk (CAR) program aims to enhance ecologically-based IPM for specific high-value or major acreage crops, focusing on productivity, profitability, and environmental health. The Risk Avoidance and Mitigation (RAMP) program supports innovative IPM strategies for multi-crop systems, area-wide agroecosystems, or to address pesticide impacts. The Methyl Bromide Transitions (MBT) program seeks practical alternatives to methyl bromide or to minimize its emissions. These grants support integrated, multidisciplinary research, education, and extension activities addressing complex pest management priorities.

| Description: | CSREES requests applications for the following programs:1)Integrated Pest Management: Crops at Risk Competitive Grants Program (CAR);Integrated Pest Management: Crops at Risk Program The goal of the CAR program is to enhance the development and implementation of innovative, ecologically based sustainable IPM system(s). Preferably, this should involve a diversity of tactics and approaches for a single or specific food or fiber commodity in commercial production for pre- and/or post-harvest system(s). The program addresses either a major acreage or high value crop commodity such as key fruits and vegetables. The primary emphasis is on crop productivity and profitability, while addressing critical environmental quality and human health issues. The CAR program will fund integrated multifunctional/multidisciplinary research, education, and extension projects for crops with high priority IPM needs as identified by stakeholders.2)Integrated Pest Management: Risk Avoidance and Mitigation Competitive Grants Program (RAMP); Integrated Pest Management: Risk Avoidance and Mitigation Program The goal of the Risk Avoidance and Mitigation (RAMP) program is to enhance the development and implementation of innovative, ecologically based sustainable IPM strategies and system(s) for (a) multi-crop food and fiber production systems; (b) an area-wide or a landscape scale agroecosystem; or (c) a documented pesticide impact on water, human or environmental health. RAMP applications may address major acreage agricultural production systems, high value crops such as key fruit and vegetable systems, or other agroecosystems. The primary emphasis of the application should be on productivity and profitability while addressing critical environmental quality and human health issues. The intent of RAMP is to fund medium-term projects that emphasize systems approaches.and the3)Integrated Pest Management: Methyl Bromide Transitions Competitive Grants Program (MBT).Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program: Integrated Pest Management: Methyl Bromide Transitions Program The goal of the Methyl Bromide Transitions (MBT) program is to support the discovery and implementation of practical pest management alternatives to methyl bromide uses or minimize methyl bromide emissions for which the United States is requesting critical use exemptions. The program is focused on integrated commercial or field scale research that targets short- to medium-term solutions.These are Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Programs designed to support integrated, multifunctional/multidisciplinary agricultural research, extension, and education activities that address complex pest management priorities in United States agriculture. The anticipated amount available for support of CAR in FY 2009 is approximately $1,300,000. The anticipated amount available for support of RAMP in FY 2009 is approximately $4,200,000. The anticipated amount available for support of MBT in FY 2009 is approximately $2,950,000. |
