This $750,000 project grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) aims to create an IPM-centric engaged scholarship experience at Colorado State University. The goal is to immerse undergraduate and graduate students in basic and applied research with direct applications to crop protection and sustainability of natural systems. Students will participate in experiential learning activities focused on outreach, extension, and interaction with diverse stakeholders. This program will help retain STEM students, respond to workforce needs, and prepare the next generation of professionals supporting food production and crop protection.
