The Federal Agricultural Department is offering funding through the Emerald Ash Borer Program for Fiscal Year 2011. This grant is for the purpose of combating the invasive Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), which has severely impacted ash resources across the United States. The program seeks to support research and development of innovative technologies and strategies aimed at minimizing EAB’s spread and impact, and facilitating trade in affected items. Preference will be given to proposals focusing on biological control, developing resistant host trees, and advancing survey technology. Funding is available for universities, state agricultural stations, and government agencies to develop effective EAB management solutions.

| Description: | This program offers funding for FY 2011 as provided under the emerald ash borer program.The priorities for the emerald ash borer program are to: 1) develop management tools and strategies that minimize the impacts of the emerald ash borer, 2) minimize the spread, and 3) facilitate trade in impacted items.The emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis, is an invasive pest that threatens the ash resources in the United States. Since discovery near Detroit, it has spread to 15 states and killed tens of millions of ash trees. The focus of this RFP is to promote the development or improvement in technology for management of this pest. Preference will be given to those proposals that are focused on biological control, development of resistant host trees, and improvements in survey technology. Secondarily, other areas of proposed investigations will be considered, such as development of regulatory treatments, pesticides, strategies to slow or stop the spread, and strategies to exploit the behavior or biology of these insects to lower populations and lesson damage.Funding will be provided to Land-Grant Universities, Non Land-Grant Colleges of Agriculture, and other Universities and Colleges, State Agricultural Experiment Stations, State Governments, and Federal Agencies to support development of EAB management technology. Applications for cooperative agreement funding are given priority if they meet the priorities outlined in this RFP and cost share. |
