The Management Entity of the USAID funded Integrated Pest Management Collaborative Research Support Program (IPM CRSP) at Virginia Tech invites proposals for

1. Proposal Preparation Grants (PPGs) to design Regional IPM and Global theme IPM Research Programs and
2. proposals for full regional and global theme programs.

This call for proposals is open to all U.S. institutions acceptable to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) (Land Grant Universities), regardless of prior participation in the IPM CRSP. We are encouraging the lead institutions (Land Grant US Universities) that submit proposals to partner with other stakeholders (e.g. other universities, NGOs, private institutions, government agencies, national programs etc. in the US and in host countries).

If your institution does not meet the USAID requirements for a lead institution and you would like to become a partner in the proposal of a lead institution contact me and check the IPM CRSP Web site. Details and instructions for preparing the proposals are in the attached RFA. If you have a question, please give me a call at (540) 231-3516.
