Northeastern IPM Center - RIPM Grant Program

IPM Partnership Grants Program

About the IPM Partnership Grant Program

Background: In 2003, the Northeastern IPM Center established the IPM Partnership Grants Program. The program first funded projects in FY 2004. Since its first funding cycle in 2004, the IPM Partnership Grants Program has funded 117 projects (with some PDs leading multiple projects).

Purpose: The IPM Partnership Grants program helps the Center serve as a regional focal point for collaboration, communication, and stakeholder participation in fostering the development and adoption of IPM. Projects funded through the IPM Partnership Grants must further the mission of the Northeastern IPM Center, must address or identify regional IPM priorities, and must benefit the region at large.

Eligibility: Funding opportunities are open to individuals and groups both within and outside of the land-grants system, including private individuals and institutions, businesses, community organizations, and governmental and nongovernmental organizations. The primary project director must be from the northeastern region.

RFA development and proposal review: Center co-directors write the Request for Applications (RFA) with input from our AC, Center staff, NEREAP-IPM, IWGs, and others, altering the amount of funding in categories from year to year to reflect regional needs. We release the RFA to our mailing lists, both electronically and via hard copy, and we solicit the help of partners in publicizing the availability of these funds. The Center convenes the grants panel(s), makes funding decisions, and issues the awards.

How to Apply

Applications are submitted electronically through the Center's online proposal submission system.

The 2009 IPM Partnership RFA is now available as a Word document and as a PDF document. The RFA is also available from the proposal system link above. The deadline for proposal submission is Friday, December 12, 2008.

Previously Funded Projects

Lists of previously funded projects and project reports are available via our grant database system (coming late 2008). In the search form choose "IPM Partnership Grants" as the program type.

Until the database is ready later in 2008, you can find information on projects here.

How to Submit Reports

Annual progress or final reports will be submitted to the Northeastern IPM Center's grant database system. In previous years, reports have been submitted by email to the Center Co-Directors. The online reporting system will be available for reports in 2009.
