Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA CPPM 006264
The Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) Competitive Grants Program is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) that funds projects focused on high-priority pest problems and how they are managed. Its central goal is to strengthen pest management outcomes using integrated pest management (IPM) approaches at the state, regional, and national levels. In practical terms, the program is looking for work that improves how agriculture and communities prevent, monitor, and control pests in ways that support long-term productivity while minimizing harm to people and the environment.
A major theme of the program is food security and broader societal resilience. CPPM supports projects that help ensure reliable agricultural production by improving pest management strategies that are economically viable for growers and other stakeholders, ecologically responsible, and safe for human health. The program explicitly emphasizes comprehensive IPM, meaning proposals are expected to go beyond single-tool solutions and instead combine tactics such as pest monitoring and forecasting, biological controls, cultural practices, host resistance, judicious pesticide use, and decision-support tools. The intent is to produce results that can realistically be adopted and sustained, rather than remaining purely theoretical.
CPPM also targets both emerging and ongoing pest challenges. It funds efforts that address newly developing threats as well as long-standing priority pest concerns, especially in cases where new or emerging technologies can significantly improve outcomes. That can include innovations in detection, diagnostics, modeling, data-driven decision making, and other modern tools that make IPM more effective, affordable, and environmentally sound. The expected end products are practical IPM practices and strategies that maintain agricultural productivity while also contributing to healthy communities, such as reduced exposure risks, improved environmental stewardship, and better preparedness for pest outbreaks.
Eligibility is tightly defined. Applications may only be submitted by colleges and universities as defined in Section 1404 of NARETPA (7 U.S.C. 3103). This definition, as amended by later legislation, includes Hispanic-serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities (HSACUs) and also allows research foundations maintained by eligible colleges or universities to apply. In addition, amendments to Section 406(b) of AREERA (7 U.S.C. 7626) expanded eligibility to include 1994 Land-Grant Institutions. While only these eligible institutions can be the primary applicants, award recipients are permitted to subcontract with organizations that are not eligible to apply directly, as long as those partners are necessary to carry out the project.
