North Central Region Integrated Pest Management Center

In FY 2003, the North Central Region Integrated Pest Management Center (NC IPM Center) received funding for four years via a grant from the USDA/CSREES’s Integrated Research, Education and Extension Competitive Grants Program - Integrated Pest Management. Section 406 of the Agricultural Research, Extension and Education Reform Act of 1998 (AREERA) authorized the establishment of the program that funded the NC IPM Center. Geographically, the Center includes the following states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The Center coordinates, enhances and facilitates the flow of resources and information in integrated pest management on a regional basis, including grants management, data acquisition and sharing, infrastructure development, and the documentation needed to provide accountability for resources used. The Center focuses its efforts on meeting the goals described in the National Roadmap for Integrated Pest Management, while maintaining the regional (site-specific) nature required for effective IPM programs. The Roadmap goals are: 1.     Improve cost benefit analyses of adopting IPM Practices; 2.     Reduce potential human health risks from pests and related management strategies; and, 3.   Minimize adverse environmental effects from pests and related management strategies.

  • Munitions Management ­ advanced geophysical sensor and signal processing technologies for the detection, discrimination, and remediation of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and technologies for range clearance and reduced generation of UXO.
  • Sustainable Infrastructure ­ natural resources management (e.g., ecosystem management, threatened and endangered species, invasive species), facilities management (e.g., solid waste, noise, water/air quality, energy), and detection and evaluation of cultural resources.
  • Weapons Systems and Platforms ­ advanced alternative environmentally benign technologies and materials that reduce, control, or eliminate the waste and emissions associated with the manufacturing, maintenance, and use of DoD weapons systems and platforms.
SERDP intends to fund multiple projects within each core focus area.  Projects will be selected through a competitive selection process.  PRE-PROPOSALS FROM THE NON-FEDERAL SECTOR ARE DUE BY THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 2007.  PROPOSALS FROM THE FEDERAL SECTOR ARE DUE BY THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2007.  Detailed instructions for federal and private sector proposers are available on the SERDP web site: http://www.serdp.org/Funding/index.cfm.

National Science Foundation (N.S.F.) As a collaborative, interagency effort, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture invite research proposals (i) to support high-throughput sequencing of the genomes of microorganisms (including viruses, bacteria, archaea, fungi, oomycetes, protists and agriculturally important nematodes) and (ii) to develop and implement strategies, tools and technologies to make currently available genome sequences more valuable to the user community. The availability of genome sequences provides the foundation for understanding how microorganisms function and live, and how they interact with their environments and with other organisms. The sequences are expected to be available to and used by a community of investigators to address issues of scientific and societal ! importance including: novel aspects of microbial biochemistry, physiology, metabolism, development and cellular biology; the diversity and the roles microorganisms play in complex ecosystems and in global geochemical cycles; the impact that microorganisms have on the productivity and sustainability of agriculture and natural resources (e.g., forestry, soil and water), and on the safety and quality of the nation's food supply; and the organization and evolution of microbial genomes, and the mechanisms of transmission, exchange and reshuffling of genetic information. A Microbial Genomics Workshop is held annually; all current awardees in this interagency program are expected to attend. March 8, 2007  
USDA, CSREES The Cooperative State, Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) is pleased to announce the release of the FY 2007 Request for Applications (RFA) for the Regional Integrated Pest Management Centers.
