Research Projects
The WCIPM funds research and demonstration projects that address the unmet pest management needs of the state of Washington.
The 1995 Washington State Legislature created the Washington State Commission on Pesticide Registration (WSCPR) to assist users of pesticides in obtaining and maintaining pesticide registrations for minor uses in Washington State. To more fully meet the state’s
pest management needs, the 1999 Legislature authorized the WSCPR to fund all forms of pest management options including biological, cultural, and chemical control of pests. For more information see the enabling legislation of RCW 15.92.100.
In 2023 the Commission name was changed to the
WA State Commission on Integrated Pest Management
to better reflect its mission. Research proposals that deal with the use of pesticides or integrated pest management strategies on a wide variety of sites may be submitted, including but not limited to the following areas: agriculture, forestry, aquaculture, structural pest control, right-of-way, noxious weeds, nursery, greenhouse, landscape, ornamental plants, and mosquito control districts
The Commissioners
