WERA 1017 Objectives
- Increase participants’ skills, knowledge, and awareness of regional/national IPM issues, systems, and strategies.
- Increase relevance of federal and regional IPM RFA’s, programs, and policies to better align them with regional stakeholder needs.
- Enhance collaboration, sharing of ideas, and hence creation of regional outputs such as multi-state grants and shared outreach materials.
- Improve coordination of IPM programs that address on-going, emerging and other critical pest and related environmental issues.

|
WERA 1017 participants will amplify multi-state collaboration to maximize IPM adoption by distributing the expertise of individual programs throughout the region |
Objectives: 3, 4 |
· WIPMC distributes grants for PMSPs, workgroups and programs that emphasize multistate activities, many of which are identified at the annual meeting · WERA-1017 participants fund regional collaboration through a WSARE grant held at OSU that addresses pesticide risk management. · WERA 1017 participants actively discuss multi-state collaboration and funding opportunities at the annual meeting
|
|
WERA 1017 members actively participate in regional and national meetings and they share stakeholder needs and priorities for inclusion in RFAs and IPMC priority lists |
Objective: 2 |
· Needs and priorities are discussed at the annual meeting · Several members participate in the NIPMCC meeting in October and provide input based upon state and regional needs · PMSPs and now also IPMSP documents are published in the national IPM database · State reports and associated discussions at the annual meeting identify common themes of regional priority. |
|
WERA 1017 members are engaged in a regional capacity building program in pesticide risk assessment and management |
Objective: 1 |
· Knowledge and skill in pesticide risk assessment and management is being enhanced through monthly calls and an annual meeting associated with the WERA 1017 annual meeting · A key tennet of IPM, as originally defined, is being addressed and this provides the concepts and language that are needed for WERA 1017 participants to discuss toxicology, pesticide regulation, and risk management at their meetings, and also with stakeholders |
