About this opportunity
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture is soliciting applications for competitive grants under the Crop Protection and Pest Management program to support integrated, multifunctional agricultural research, extension, and education activities addressing pest management challenges using IPM approaches, with applications due by 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on July 6, 2026. All applicants except those receiving waivers must provide dollar-for-dollar matching contributions.
Eligible applicants include colleges and universities as defined by federal law, Hispanic-serving agricultural colleges and universities, and 1994 Institutions. The program is divided into two components: the Applied Research and Development Program (ARDP) with approximately $4.1 million available for 14–16 awards ranging from $300,000 to $1.15 million per award with 24–36 month durations, and the Regional Coordination Program (RCP) with approximately $4.15 million available for 4 awards at $1,000,000–$1,150,000 per year with 44-month durations. Total anticipated program funding is $8.25 million.
ARDP applications must address stakeholder-identified IPM needs and demonstrate multi-state or regional/national involvement, with projects selecting either applied research or integrated research-extension formats. RCP applications must establish regional IPM centers and may include optional supplements for IPM information systems not exceeding $150,000 annually. Priority is given to proposals addressing management of invasive species. All applications require logic models (3 pages), data management plans (2 pages), mentoring plans where applicable, and project narratives not exceeding 18 pages (25 pages for RCP with optional supplement).
NIFA evaluates ARDP applications on technical merit of applied research (45 points), qualifications of project personnel and project management (20 points), and project relevance (35 points). RCP applications are evaluated on relevance of activities (55 points) and proposed technical merit and quality (45 points). Indirect costs are capped at 30 percent of total federal funds awarded. The Assistance Listing number is 10.329.
Synopsis
The purpose of the CPPM program (Assistance Listing 10.329) is to provide funding for integrated, multifunctional agricultural research, Extension, and education activities. The goals and objectives of CPPM are to address high-priority issues related to pests, including insects, nematodes, pathogens, weeds, and other pests, and their management using IPM approaches at the state, regional, and national levels. The CPPM program supports projects that will ensure sufficient food production increase producer profitability, and respond effectively to other pest management challenges with comprehensive IPM approaches. Priority is given to proposals that address management of invasive species. The CPPM program also addresses IPM challenges for existing pest concerns that can be addressed more effectively with new and emerging technologies. The outcomes of the CPPM program are IPM practices and strategies needed to maintain agricultural profitability.
