Purpose
To promote safer, more sustainable pest management practices in California, the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) annually funds projects that advance sustainable pest management (SPM) practices through integrated pest management (IPM) research, knowledge, tools, outreach, and implementation in agricultural, urban, and/or wildland settings.

Description
DPR's SPM Grants Program supports projects that advance sustainable pest management practices through IPM research, knowledge, tools, outreach,



and implementation in agricultural, urban, and/or wildland settings.

The 2027 SPM Grants Program is particularly seeking applications that address one or more of the following topic areas:
- Alternatives for weed management
- Alternatives for rodent management
- Alternatives to fumigants
- Projects that support the adoption of emerging technologies to further IPM/SPM
- Projects that address emerging pests and prevention strategies
- Alternatives to pesticides prioritized for mitigation or evaluation by DPR (See: Continuous Evaluation and Mitigation Update)

This year, DPR invites projects with budgets ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000 to apply. Applicants may include (but are not limited to) entities such as government and tribal agencies, universities, colleges, consultants, pest control businesses, commodity groups, and nonprofit organizations.
