 About CIPM |
| CIPM seeks to play a vital, national role in IPM research, education, and training.
The National Science Foundation Center for Integrated Pest Management (CIPM) was established in 1991 to serve a lead role in technology development, program implementation, training, and public awareness for IPM at the state, regional, and national level. The Center began as part of NSF's Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers Program. The CIPM is an organizational unit within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at North Carolina State University. It is composed of faculty members from all academic departments in the College and involves all relevant disciplines impacting on IPM. The CIPM also involves scientists from other universities across the nation through grants, contracts, or other formal working relationships.
Center Mission
CIPM fosters the development and implementation of pest management
programs based on a high level of knowledge of pest biology coupled with choices of
monitoring tools and control technology, resulting in economically sound, environmentally
compatible, and sociologically responsible pest management in diverse systems including both crop production and urban settings.
Center Vision
CIPM is a National Science Foundation founded, Industry / University Cooperative Research Center, which works to support and further
Integrated Pest Management through the evaluation of emerging technologies,
information management and dissemination, environmental stewardship, estimation
of economic consequences, resistance management tools and systems, and integration
of disciplinary expertise.
