2025 Department of Pesticide Regulation Alliance Grants Program
Details
Purpose:
To promote safer, more sustainable pest management practices in California, the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) annually funds Alliance projects that promote or increase the implementation, expansion, and/or adoption of effective, proven, and affordable integrated pest management (IPM) systems or practices that reduce risks to human health and the environment in agricultural, urban, or wildland settings.
Description:
DPR's Alliance Grants Program supports projects that promote or increase the implementation, expansion, or adoption of effective, proven, and affordable integrated pest management (IPM) systems or practices that reduce risks to human health and the environment in agricultural, urban, or wildland settings. Projects should focus on reducing impacts to human health or the environment from pesticides of high regulatory interest. Summaries of previously funded Alliance Grants Program projects can be found on the Alliance Grants webpage.
The 2025 Alliance Grants Program is particularly seeking applications that address one or more of the following topic areas:
· IPM for underserved or disadvantaged communities;
· Decreasing the use of pesticides of high regulatory interest (such as fumigants like 1,3-dichloropropene or sulfuryl fluoride);
· Advancement of urban IPM and safer, more sustainable pest management tools and strategies in urban settings;
· Advancement of IPM and safer, more sustainable pest management tools and strategies in agricultural settings adjacent to or near a school(s);
Meeting the IPM needs of small growers; and/or
TWO or more of the three sustainability pillars noted below and referenced in the Sustainable Pest Management (SPM) Roadmap:
o Human Health and Social Equity
o Environmental Protections
o Economic Vitality
For further definitions of these priority topic areas, please review the 2025 Alliance Grants Solicitation.
Following the deadline, applications are concurrently reviewed by DPR staff and the Pest Management Advisory Committee (PMAC). Both groups evaluate the proposal application according to ranking criteria that can be found in the 2025 Alliance Grants Solicitation.
