The CPPM program supports projects that address these challenges with IPM approaches developed by coordinated state, regional, and national research and extension efforts. The impact of these research and extension efforts will be increased by the establishment of communication networks and stakeholder participation in setting priorities. In FY 2021, NIFA will only accept competitive applications for funding in the Applied Research and Development Program area (ARDP) and the Extension Implementation Program area (EIP) of the CPPM program. NIFA will fund current Regional Coordination Program area (RCP) projects through continuation applications. The anticipated amount available for CPPM grants in FY 2021 is approximately $18.1 million. Of this amount, approximately $4.0 million will be used to fund ARDP awards, approximately $10 million to fund EIP awards; and approximately $4.1 million to fund current RCP continuation awards.
