Non Technical Summary
The Southern IPM Center champions the development and adoption of integrated pest management (IPM); the science of managing pests while protecting people, the environment, and economy. The Center engages broadly with stakeholders to identify and address regional pest priorities in agriculture, communities, and natural areas. Through the broader implementation of research findings, the Center collaboratively works to: (a) improve development and adoption of IPM through regional pest management information networks, collaborative team building, and broad-based stakeholder participation; (b) strengthen collaboration across states, disciplines, and purposes; and (c) increase coordination and improve efficiency of IPM research and extension efforts. The Center has four principal strengths that advance these goals: IPM Recognition, Networking, Funding Opportunities, and Data-Driven IPM. They allow the center to identify and mobilize the partners needed to address an issue, maintain a working relationship and open communication channels with them, provision resources to facilitate the needed cooperation, and provide access to needed information in an efficient way to affect change. In addition, the Center takes an active role in four Signature Programs: Climate Change, IPM Identity, Early Detection and Rapid Response, and Protection of Pollinators and Other Beneficial Insects. While these are not all of the issues facing the Southern region, they are ones that the Center has the greatest potential to affect change through its direct involvement and limited resources. The Center also has a supplemental proposal to support continued leadership and coordination of the national IPM Information Systems.

Goals / Objectives
The goals of the project are to:(a) Improve development and adoption of IPM through regional pest management information networks, collaborative team building, and broad-based stakeholder participation;(b) Strengthen collaboration across states, disciplines, and purposes; and(c) Increase coordination and improve efficiency of IPM research and extension efforts.In addition the goal of the Informaiton Supplementis to develop and maintain a National IPM Information System to serve as a resource for IPM researchers, extension staff, educators, and practitioners. The systems involved will improve project outcome reporting, increase network communication, increase use and availability of datasets, dataset utility and use tracking, and provide a forum to direct systems evolution and partner network expansion.
Project Methods
Four principal strengths, IPM Recognition (§C.b.iv), Networking (§D), Funding Opportunities (§G.1), and Data-Driven IPM, allow the Center to capitalize on the opportunities available for advancing the goals. These strengths allow the Center to identify and mobilize partners while maintaining a working relationship with open communication, provision resources to facilitate essential cooperation, and provide efficient access to information to affect change. Data-Driven IPM is reflected in the extensive use of technology in this project to database relevant information, work with partners maintaining those data sources, and effectively leverage the combined knowledge to inform decisions. The Center's Data-Driven focus is one reason why this proposal includes the IPM Information System (IPM IS) Supplement.While the principal strengths of the Center are leveraged to address any issues within the region, four Signature Programs are highlighted in this proposal: Climate Change, IPM Identity, Early Detection and Rapid Response, and Protection of Pollinators and other Beneficial Insects. While these are not all of the issues facing the Southern region, they are ones that the Center has the greatest potential to affect change through its direct involvement and limited resources.Evaluating and Communicating ImpactThe Center has collaborated with its partner Regional IPM Centers on impact evaluation, outreach, and communication for more than a decade. Collaboration in these areas will continue through national meetings, inter-Center Zoom calls (approximately monthly) and frequent Basecamp, email, and telephone exchanges.i. The evaluation specialist participates in all Center program planning to identify indicators, outputs, and outcomes as well as ensure evaluation and assessment plans are in place to document impacts. An internal reporting system is in place for quarterly impact assessments and will also be used to aggregate information and synthesize reporting procedures.ii. Center funded projects are required to submit final reports that are then used to evaluate the impacts of their projects. These reports will be reviewed by the evaluation specialist and compiled to demonstrate successful IPM project implementation methods.iii. The Regional IPM Centers' collective grants management system facilitates the standardization of evaluation metrics for funding opportunities. Reporting in the Grant Management System (GMS) is being developed through intra-regional collaboration to not only allow for standardized evaluation metrics, but also the ability to aggregate and synthesize reports across the regions.v.. Throughout all Center evaluation activities, the Evaluation Specialist and Communication Director collaborate closely to ensure outputs and outcomes are identified and publicized. Relevant regional successes are also identified and collected through the Communication Director's information gathering, which contribute to the Center's regional impact data. The Communication Director also develops and distributes content that communicates project outputs and impacts to target audiences and participants (see logic model). The major components of this effort are described in detail in vivi.Evaluation of logic model components: An internal reporting system is in place to track Center activities and how they relate to the logic model and its components. Outputs and Outcomes, along with every other component of the logic model, have been extensively linked in order to provide detailed project impact reporting as well as how any given Center activity or product contributes to identified outcomes (visual representation of these linkages: https://southernipm.org/logic-model/). Individual evaluation methods and indicators are in place and vary for any given output or outcome. Multiple evaluation reports are planned throughout the four year period to demonstrate Center progress and impact. Quarterly impact assessments to Center staff will provide an update on Center outputs and progress towards Center goals. The annual report delivers an annual summary of these outputs and their related impacts and is shared with all Center stakeholders. Outcome measures will be reported separately in three different formats: (a) short term outcomes will be summarized and reported on an annual basis to demonstrate stakeholders' change in knowledge, (b) medium term outcomes will be consciously selected and summarized at the end of year three and four to report stakeholder's change in behavior, and (c) long term outcomes will be reported in the format of a case study at the end of year four. Progress reports and continuation reports will be compiled and submitted to USDA-NIFA upon request.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Research findings have the potential to improve food security, but only if they are recognized and used. The Southern IPM Center improves sustainable food security through broadening the implementation of research findings. The Southern IPM Center improves stakeholder understanding of the importance of IPM through providing funding opportunities, fostering information networks, recognizing IPM leaders, and coordinating information access. As a result, research findings move more efficiently throughout the scientific community and more effectively to a broader audience. The improved IPM research network improves sustainable food security for all communities.
