# USDA NIFA Funds Pest Management Research

On November 4, 2026, USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) announced 36 Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) awards supporting integrated agricultural research, Extension, and education projects across FY 2025 and FY 2026. The announcement gives two totals: $13.2 million in the headline and $13.1 million in the article body. The awards are grant funding rather than a single procurement contract, and project details are available through NIFA’s FY 2025 and FY 2026 project-search pages.

- The funded work addresses priority pest-management issues; universities and other organizations with relevant research, Extension, or education capabilities can review the project listings to identify awardees and areas of activity.
- Contractors and research organizations can use the award information to assess potential collaboration or support opportunities with funded institutions; the announcement does not identify a solicitation or proposal deadline.
