Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA CPPM 005796
The Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) grant opportunity, offered by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), is designed to tackle high-priority pest problems affecting agriculture through integrated pest management (IPM). The program targets pest and crop protection challenges at state, regional, and national scales, with an emphasis on practical solutions that strengthen food security and help agriculture respond to broader societal needs. At its core, CPPM is focused on advancing IPM approaches that are economically workable for producers, environmentally responsible, and supportive of human health, rather than relying on single-tactic or purely reactive pest control methods.
A key theme of the opportunity is encouraging comprehensive IPM strategies that can address both long-standing pest pressures and emerging or rapidly changing threats. This includes situations where new pests appear, existing pests expand into new regions, resistance develops, or changing climate and production systems alter pest dynamics. CPPM specifically highlights the importance of using new and emerging technologies when they can make pest management more effective, more affordable, or less harmful to people and the environment. The expected result is the development and adoption of IPM practices and strategies that are not only effective, but also sustainable in real-world farming and community contexts, contributing to healthier, more resilient agricultural systems and more vital communities.
Eligibility is restricted. Only colleges and universities that meet the statutory definition in Section 1404 of NARETPA (7 U.S.C. 3103) may submit applications. The eligibility language also reflects updates made through later legislation, including the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, which clarified and expanded definitions to include Hispanic-serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities (HSACUs) and certain research foundations maintained by eligible institutions. Additional amendments under AREERA, as updated by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, added 1994 Land-Grant Institutions as eligible applicants under this authority. While the lead applicant must be an eligible higher education institution (or its qualifying research foundation), awardees are allowed to subcontract with organizations that are not themselves eligible applicants, as long as those partners are necessary to carry out the proposed work. The notice also makes clear that eligibility must be met by the application deadline; failing to meet eligibility requirements can lead to the proposal being excluded or prevent NIFA from making an award even if the application is reviewed.
In terms of basic award details, this is a discretionary grant program in the agriculture funding category (CFDA 10.329). The opportunity listed an application closing date of June 8, 2016, with an award ceiling of $325,000 and an expectation of approximately 30 awards. The funding opportunity is identified as USDA NIFA CPPM 005796, created on April 13, 2016. Overall, the program is aimed at producing applied outcomes: better IPM tools, strategies, and implementation approaches that reduce pest impacts while supporting profitability, environmental stewardship, and public health.Apply for USDA NIFA CPPM 005796
