Vertebrate Pest Control Research Program Grant

The Vertebrate Pest Control Research Program aims to fund research and education initiatives that improve control measures for vertebrate pests impacting California's agriculture, infrastructure, and public welfare. Proposals can originate from outside California, provided they address relevant pest concerns within the state. Projects that include additional funding sources are particularly encouraged. Note that proprietary product development projects are not supported by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

Purpose
Proposals may focus on research and/or education projects to enhance control measures of vertebrate pests that pose a significant threat to the welfare of state’s agricultural economy, infrastructure, environment, and the public. CDFA does not support proprietary product development projects. Proposals that originate from outside of California are considered if the proposal includes relevance to vertebrate pest concerns within California.
