The Integrated Pest Management Innovation Lab (IPM IL, formerly the IPM CRSP), funded by USAID, has been managed by the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University since 1993 through a consortium of U.S. universities including Pennsylvania State University, Ohio State University, Clemson University, Virginia State University, Michigan State University, Washington State University, University of California-Davis, University of Georgia, North Carolina State University, University of Florida, and Kansas State University. It currently operates in 16 countries—Senegal, Ghana, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Tajikistan, Cambodia, Philippines, Indonesia, Guatemala, Honduras, and Ecuador—in six different regions of the tropical world. The IPM IL has six regional and five cross cutting programs. Its regional programs concentrate on developing and implementing IPM packages for high value vegetable crops, and the cross cutting programs address problems that occur in all the regions such as virus diseases, gender, diagnostics, invasive species, and impact assessment. In early years, the IPM IL concentrated on institutionalization, and it currently addresses regionalization and globalization of developed through regional planning meetings, interregional workshops, and international symposia.
