This grant, offered by the USDA, is for the purpose of developing Expert IPM Decision Support Systems (EIPMDSS). These systems enhance USDA-supported Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, which aim to improve cost-benefit analyses, reduce human health risks, and minimize environmental impact from pests. EIPMDSS will boost program efficiency by maintaining communication of IPM research priorities, providing stakeholders access to outputs, compiling reports, and synthesizing impacts. Successful projects will substantially contribute to the long-term sustainability and improvement of the national IPM portfolio.

| Description: | The purpose of the EIPMDSS program is to support development of expert systems that help guide, demonstrate and multiply impacts of USDA supported IPM programs. The goals of these IPM programs are: 1) Improve cost benefit analyses when adopting IPM practices, 2) Reduce potential human health risks from pests and related management strategies, and 3) Minimize adverse environmental effects from pests and related management strategies. Both the efficiency and effectiveness of these individual programs have historically been increased by the expert systems made available to the participants. The EIPMDSS created and maintained by the successful applicant will help these programs maintain and communicate IPM research, education, and extension priorities; allow a diverse group of stakeholders to obtain access to selected program outputs; compile LOGIC model based program reports; and synthesize program impacts. EIPMDSS projects should substantially contribute to the long-term improvement and sustainability of the IPM portfolio. |
