International Programs & Trade, Invasive Species Program Funding Opportunity

The Forest Service's International Programs and Trade (IPT) Invasive Species program aims to support projects that advance tangible improvements in invasive species prevention by utilizing existing research knowledge on invasive species risks and pathways to produce actionable outcomes that protect American agriculture from invasive species. The program seeks to improve management of invasive pests and prevent or minimize new infestations in the U.S. • The program will support projects that bridge the gap between current research knowledge and concrete actions to improve invasive species prevention and detection. • Proposals should utilize scientific knowledge to accelerate tangible improvements in invasive species prevention and detection efforts in the U.S. • International collaboration is encouraged, and proposals should include international partners as collaborators. • The program will support projects that improve regulatory frameworks, policies, and actions to decrease new arrivals and establishment of invasive pests. • The expected outcomes of the project include the development of one or more new strategies that improve invasive species prevention or detection in the U.S.
