About Washington Commission on Integrated Pest Management

 The purpose of the seeking proposals is to solicit studies and activities that will result in pesticide registrations for minor uses and to support research, implementation, and demonstration of any aspect of integrated pest management and pesticide resistance management programs in Washington. 

The WCIPM’s enabling legislation defines IPM and will therefore adhere to the following definition: “Integrated pest management is a strategy that uses various combinations of pest control methods, biological, cultural, and chemical in a compatible manner to achieve satisfactory control and ensure favorable economic and environmental consequences.” RCW 15.92.010(4) 

Proposal is defined as a written request for funding to address a particular pest control need for specific site(s) or crop(s). Submit one proposal per project.  Proposals dealing 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. 

Pesticide users of sites or crops not among Washington’s top 20 agricultural commodities produced (as ranked by Washington Agricultural Statistics Services) are especially encouraged to submit proposals.  

The funding period is currently open, and proposals are due Nov. 12th.
