AGENCY PROGRAM DURATION RANGE DEADLINE
EPA Region 1   Food Quality Protection Act / Strategic Agriculture Initiative       Sep, 08, 2008  
EPA Region 1 Pesticide Program is seeking applications from eligible organizations that will facilitate the implementation of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). The program supports efforts to reduce the exposure to toxic pesticides through the adoption of production agriculture pest management practices that transition away from the use of high-risk pesticides in minor crops.

The in-field adoption by farmers of already identified potential low-risk integrated crop or pest management tools and strategies is a priority. The project or projects selected for funding will work towards achieving the adoption of reduced-risk alternatives and /or ecologically-based IPM or biologically integrated farming approaches that are economical.

For this competition, the EPA Region 1 SAI Program has approximately $110,000 available for assistance awards under this Request for Applications (RFA).

See web link for full details.

AGENCY PROGRAM DURATION RANGE DEADLINE
IR-4   Biopesticide Research Program       Oct, 10, 2008  
The IR-4 Biopesticide Research Program announces a request for grant proposals for funding of efficacy research in 2009. IR-4 is especially interested in proposals containing biopesticides as resistance management tools, rotated with conventional products. While resistance management is an important interest, the proposal must still have a majority focus on biopesticides. Project proposals will be accepted in Early, Advanced and Demonstration stage categories. The total amount of funding available will be around $ 400,000. Most successful grants have generally ranged from $10,000 to $25,000. The primary objective of the IR-4 Biopesticide Research Program is to further the development and registration of biopesticides for use in pest management systems for specialty crops or for minor uses on major crops.

Please follow the web link for the application forms and contact information.
