Outreach/Marketing • IPM Centers need to do a better job of marketing themselves as a good source of IPM information • Brief reports to concisely summarize goals of program, research results of grant funding, progress towards goals, etc. • Support State Contact/State Coordinator • Fully fund one position per state to conduct activities of state contact (crop profiles, PMSP activities, etc.)
