Greetings:

The Department of Pesticide Regulation's 2016/2017 Pest Management 
Research Grant Solicitation is now available. A total of $1,100,000 is 
available; ~55% of which will be allocated for projects that focus on 
integrated pest management (IPM) solutions to pesticide-related risks 
associated with agricultural field fumigants in California. The 
remaining 45% will be allocated competitively to projects that explore 
using IPM to reduce risks associated with other high-risk pesticides as 
well as projects focused on reducing risks associated with fumigants. 
DPR will consider projects for terms of up to 33 months.

If you are interested in this funding opportunity, please view the 
2016/2017 Solicitation on DPR’s Web site at 
http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/pestmgt/grants/research/solicitation.htm. It 
is also attached here. If you know other groups or individuals that may 
be interested in applying for a Pest Management Research Grant, we 
encourage you to pass on this information.

application system by 5:00 PM on October 1, 2015.

application process. Participation in the webinar and teleconference is 
voluntary.

The webinar was held on September 15, 2015. The webinar has been posted
