Partner With Us
Let’s develop innovative and sustainable solutions to global pest challenges!
Focus Areas
The Center for Integrated Pest Management (CIPM) at North Carolina State University partners with numerous federal, state, international and industry stakeholders in over 40 projects to develop innovative solutions and address challenges of invasive and domestic pests. Our current project areas include Regulatory Pest Informatics, Strategic Pest Management, and Social-Ecological Pest Analytics.
In addition to these project areas, we aid stakeholders with proposal and project management at local, regional, national and international levels. We also conduct training for professionals in pest risk analysis, database management, predictive models, and other topics as requested by our stakeholders.
Partnership Areas
Working on the above mentioned Focus Areas, the Center has developed unique expertise and technologies that could be shared with new partners and projects — find these unique Center capabilities in this section on partnership areas. Contact the Center leadership for more information on collaborating with us.
Designing Surveys based on Risk
Our Risk-based Survey (RBS) design helps detect and predict Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP) and Huanglongbing (HLB) in California’s citrus orchards. Using risk mapping and predictive modeling, we aim to manage these diseases efficiently and proactively. This approach, developed with key partners, focuses on early detection and strategic resource deployment to prevent the spread of HLB. Risk Based Surveys
Eco-Efficient Integrated Pest Management Initiatives
CIPM is leading efforts to reduce environmental and human health risks from pests through innovative eco-efficient IPM strategies and research. Projects like monarch habitat conservation on golf courses and biological control in urban landscapes exemplify CIPM’s commitment to sustainable pest management. Eco-efficiency
Generative AI powered invasive pest monitoring
Model will monitor exotic pest activities in near real-time and provide useful information to data analysts. The generative AI model will find reports of invasive pests on the web and classify based on their importance and content, offering action items for stakeholders. The data will enhance early warning systems and information repositories.
Pest Analytics
Data analysis and visualization of agricultural and regulatory data. Spatiotemporal data on climate, pest biology, host phenology and survey are used within user-friendly frameworks to run models. SAFARIS
Database
We operate an Enterprise Data Center that is USDA-certified, offering enterprise class infrastructure. We develop, deploy and manage databases for our stakeholders.
Decision Support Systems
We develop models, applications and other decision
support systems to meet specific needs
