Title
Proactive Integrated Pest Management Solutions 24-25
Description
The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to develop integrated pest management (IPM) program(s) or pieces of IPM program(s) that can be rapidly implemented if a new invasive pest becomes established in California. CDFA’s Proactive IPM Solutions program aims to anticipate which invasive pests are likely to arrive in the state and develop effective long-term IPM strategies for these pests beforehand and prevent the spread of locally established invasive pests to different regions within the state. Advanced knowledge of such pest management strategies allows for a swifter response, minimizing disruption to California’s growers and urban communities.

Indirect Cost Description
Indirect costs should be calculated as a percentage of the modified total direct costs (MTDC). MTDC is calculated as all total direct costs minus excluded costs such as tuition and equipment in excess of $5,000. Subawards are also subject to the 10% indirect cost cap and may not be included in the MTDC calculation for the full project budget. University of California, California State University, and other entities with negotiated rates, should use those. Entities without negotiated rates will be capped at 10%. See OPCA’s Indirect Cost Policy document for more information: https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/oefi/opca/docs/opca_indirect_costs_policies.pdf
