Northeastern IPM Center Announces Recipients of 2021 Partnership Grants

The Northeastern IPM Center partners with stakeholders for integrated pest management.

Annual grant program supports IPM research and extension in the Northeast

The Northeastern Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Center has announced the recipients of its 2021 Partnership Grants.

Each year, through a competitive request-for-applications (RFA) process, the Center’s IPM Partnership Grants Program distributes roughly $200,000 in funding to projects that further the mission of the Center, address or identify IPM priorities for the Northeast, and benefit the region at large.

Each funded project falls under one of three categories: applied research, communications, and working groups.
