Critical Issues: Emerging and New Plant and Animal Pests and Diseases: This program is designed to provide one-time seed funding to help initiate work requiring immediate attention until other longer-term resources can be secured to address the issue. NIFA will be soliciting proposals on an as-needed basis during the year to address specific new or emerging issues. For this particular solicitation NIFA is requesting proposals that address specific aspects of the following plant pest and disease issues: Redbay ambrosia beetle in avocados; Brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) in agronomic, fruit and vegetable crops; Trochanter mealybug (Pseudococcus sorghiellus) in soybeans; Uganda (Ug99) Strain of Wheat Stem Rust; and Glyphosate resistant broadleaf weeds. Priority will be given to proposals that demonstrate evidence of collaboration and communication with working groups and approved multi-state research committees, however all applicants qualified to conduct the research are encouraged to apply.
