Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Research Grant
Washington State Department of Agriculture
Closed December 15, 2025
WSDA research grant (2025-2027 state budget appropriation) funding research to develop an integrated pest management plan for burrowing shrimp in Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor, so coastal shellfish cultivation on tidelands can continue. High burrowing-shrimp densities soften mudflats and cause shellfish to sink and suffocate. $276,000 is available after an 8% administrative fee (from a $300,000 model toxics control operating account appropriation). Application period open October 29-December 15, 2025; projects must be completed and deliverables received by June 30, 2027. Additional rounds of RFPs are possible at a future date.
Eligibility
Research institutions, agencies, and industry partners (WSDA is particularly interested in collaborative projects/partnerships with potential for rapid implementation). Funds may only be used for research to develop the burrowing-shrimp IPM plan for Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor.
