Request for Applications--IPM Minigrants: Project directors with requests of up to $10,000 may apply for an IPM minigrant (include overhead of up to 25% of Total Direct Costs). The purpose of the minigrants is to provide funds for brief IPM tasks and projects that fit the mission of the Center but could otherwise not be accomplished without these funds.

Request for Applications--NCIPMC Working Group Grants Program: The North Central Integrated Pest Management Center (NCIPMC) announces the availability of funds and requests proposals for Working Groups that support the NCIPMC and regional IPM priorities. The goals of the Center are to increase the economic benefits of adopting IPM practices and reduce the environmental and human health risks associated with managing pests. These goals were established by the IPM Roadmap, and the NCIPMC addresses them through competitive grants and other programs and projects. The NCIPMC programs address pest management needs for production agriculture, natural resources and recreational environments, and residential and public areas. North Central region IPM priorities, as identified by regional IPM stakeholders, are available on the Center's web site. Project directors may requests of up to $30,000 for an North Central Region IPM Center Working Group grant (include overhead of up to 25% of Total Direct Costs).
