Funded Project

Funding Program: Western Region Work Groups

Project Title: 2008-9 PNW Work Group on Agricultural IPM Issues

Project Director (PD): Catherine H Daniels [1]

Lead State: WA Lead Organization: Washington State University

Undesignated Funding: $6,151

Start Date: Jan-01-2008 End Date: Mar-14-2009

Site/Commodity: Pacific Northwest

Area of Emphasis: Priorities

Summary: During the last six years the state information network contacts in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) states of Oregon, Idaho, and Washington, and the neighboring states of Alaska, Montana, and Utah have formed a functional and highly productive work group. The function of this work group is to focus on regional collaborations that enhance adoption, measurement, and/or creation of methods that promote integrated pest management (IPM) in agricultural settings. Formation of this regional Work Group has allowed member states to maximize expertise and leverage resources over a wide geographic area as well as across project types. Based on the premise that networks successfully function when they are actively engaged, the overall goal of this proposal is to maintain this flexible and functional Work Group through structured meetings. In this way the Work Group will continue its successful collaborations and identify and promote new collaborations to address regional issues. Objectives: As coordinator, on behalf of the PNW Work group, I am requesting funding for two years in order to maintain a formal structure in which we can continue to function and produce measurable outcomes. 1. Continue a regularly scheduled meeting format which allows for timely prioritization of regional issues and PMSPs, group discussion on joint projects of interest, and methods through which we can further the IPM Roadmap among PNW member states. 2. Continue to interact with other states engaged in IPM programming. The purpose of this meeting format is to identify areas of common interest with other states or regions so as to increase synergy. The quickest and most proven method to accomplish this is attendance at IPM symposia or meetings for the purpose of professional development, organized discussion of projects with other IPM professionals, and active group planning of IPM projects we propose to submit to funding agencies. 3. Continue to establish linkages between PNW Work Group members and other groups that can influence IPM adoption.
