Crop Protection and Pest Management Regional Coordination Programs Increase coordination and improve efficiency of IPM research and extension efforts Increase coordination and improve efficiency of IPM research and extension efforts Facilitate collaboration across states and disciplines Facilitate collaboration across states and disciplines Promote further development and adoption of IPM through regional pest management information networks, collaborative team building and broad-based stakeholder participation. Promote further development and adoption of IPM through regional pest management information networks, collaborative team building and broad-based stakeholder participation. Broader implementation of research findings

Facilitation of Innovation Through Technology (FITT) facilitate use of the most appropriate and current technology by IPM programs and projects and ensure that existing resources are fully leveraged complimentary database, communications, and related IT support for working groups and other collaborative efforts Technology support so biologists don’t have to
