North Central Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Center Funding

Proposals are due by December 1, 2025.
The North Central Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Center has funds available for Critical Issue research projects, Working Group projects, IPM Partnerships, and IPM Mini-grants for 2026. Critical Issue projects can fulfill research or resource needs focused on new or emerging disease, weed, or insect pests impacting crops, human health, or safety. Working Group projects should focus on increasing collaboration in the North Central region to address an IPM challenge. IPM Partnership grants support identifying stakeholders in need of IPM information to provide them with IPM resources and education. Proposals should describe IPM outreach or research needs and explain how the project would benefit proposed stakeholders. IPM Mini-grants are also available for 2026 that support small projects or activities focused on increasing IPM in the region. The Mini-grants will be available until funding for them is depleted.
