Funding Opportunity: Help Advance Pest Management Research in Washington
The Washington Commission on Integrated Pest Management (WCIPM) is now accepting proposals for its 2027 research funding cycle.
This is an opportunity for Washington pest management professionals and industry groups to help identify and address real-world pest challenges through research, demonstrations, pesticide registration projects, integrated pest management programs, and resistance-management efforts.
- Structural pest control
- Integrated pest management strategies
- Pesticide resistance management
- Pesticide registration needs
- Human health or environmental concerns
- Emerging or difficult-to-manage pest issues
WCIPM funding awards have historically ranged from $2,500 to $35,000. Proposals must originate from, or demonstrate support from, an affected pest management user group. A researcher does not need to be identified when the proposal is initially submitted.
