This grant offered by the Department of Agriculture aims to provide support for the Extension Integrated Pest Management Coordination and Support Program (EIPM-CS). The program consists of two components, Coordination and Support, to advance the National Road Map for Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Funding will assist in the coordination, development, and implementation of extension IPM programs, aiding agricultural producers in adopting alternative pest management practices. The grants will help in demonstrating and evaluating IPM practices in agriculture and other settings to achieve national IPM goals. This opportunity strengthens NIFA’s ability to address IPM needs at local, state, and national levels through Cooperative Extension Services.

| Description:: | The FY 2012 Extension Integrated Pest Management Coordination and Support Program (EIPM-CS) contains two components, EIPM-CS Coordination and EIPM-CS Support. Both components support state and local contributions in advancing the goals of the National Road Map for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) by addressing priority needs associated with the coordination, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of extension IPM programs. EIPM-CS funds will help agricultural producers and other pest managers adopt alternative pest management practices through training, demonstration, and evaluation of methods and strategies. All EIPM-CS efforts are intended to contribute to the achievement of national IPM goals through the demonstration and evaluation of IPM practices in production agriculture and other settings. Awards strengthen the ability of NIFA and its IPM partner institutions to actively address local, state, and national IPM needs delivered through the Cooperative Extension Services and rapidly respond to new issues and opportunities. |

That section further informs that in May 2012 the System for Award Management (SAM) will be replacing CCR. NIFA is now notifying you that the CCR will no longer be accessible as of Wednesday, May 23 and that implementation of SAM is expected to take place May 29. NIFA advises you to take any necessary CCR action (i.e., registration or renewal of registration) prior to May 23 in order to avoid any related issues with the submission of an application in response to this funding opportunity.
