Progress 09/15/05 to 03/14/08

OUTPUTS: Two workshops were held in conjunction with annual meetings of the Entomological Society of America in support of promoting and evaluating successful implementation of biologically-based strategies to reduce damage caused by agricultural pests, which has been a major part of the competitive grants program at CSREES. In 2005, some of the most significant impacts of biologically-based pest management research funded by NRI, Section 406 and SARE programs was reviewed and discussed, including critical future needs. In 2007, the workshop was attended by a diverse group of scientists from across the U.S. (A list of actual and estimate participants is shown below.) Outputs included a poster session in which participants shared project information based on USDA awards; a symposium entitled "Building Connections in Applied Biology of Arthropods and/or Nematodes with Genomics" in which selected speakers highlighted either individual research in diverse areas spanning ecology to genomics or presented ideas about how research could be integrated across levels of biological organization; and a session led by panel managers to update awardees about the USDA grants programs and to answer questions. A survey was done to provide feedback. PARTICIPANTS: List available only for 2007 meeting: Mary Purcell-Miramontes, Monte Johnson, Rick Meyer, Robert Nowierski, Bill Goldner, Leslie Gilbert, Jim Nechols, Ray Barbehenn, Doug Tallamy, Drion Boucias, Ed Vargo, Eliana Gonzalez-Vigil, Elizabeth Jockusch, Eric Davis, Larry Hanks, Chris Taylor, Freddie-Jeanne Richard, Christina Grozinger, Bob Luck, Fiona Goggin, Georg Jander, Pierluigi Bonello, Doug Landis, George Heimpel, Dave Denlinger, Anna Whitfield, Dorith Rotenberg, Bruce Tabashnik, Paula Shrewsbury, Mike Raupp, Al Handler, Fred Gould, Gary Felton, Gary Hein, Gary Yuen, Gene Reagan, Gene Robinson, Gisella Vasquez, Greg Loeb, Harold Trick, Heather Mattila, Hugh Roberton, Isgouhi Kaloshian, James Miller, James Tumlinson, Jana Ching-Ting Lee, Jay Rosenheim, Jennifer Thaler, John Heraty, John Tooker, Joseph Spencer, Juan-Jurat Fuentes, Ken Helms, Kevin Wanner, Keyan Zhu-Salzman, Kris Lambert, Kurt Anderson, Marce Lorenzen, Mark Wright, Matt Ayres, Matthew Tarver, Matthew Turnbull, Michael Greene, Michael Roe, Michael Scharf, Nathan Havill, Neil Tsutsui, Mils Rannik, Nora Underwood, Ole Becker, Patricia Pietrantonio, Paul Switzer, Peter Butko, Peter Landolt, Qirui Zhang, Rami Horowitz, Randa Jabbour, Richard Ferrieri, Rufus Isaacs, Sanford Eigenbrode, Sara Lewis, Sarjeet Gill, Shahid Karim, Shubha Govind, Spencer Behmer, Steve Welter, Stewart Berlocher, Subba Palli, Sydney Cameron, Tanya Pankiw, Thomas Freeman, Tom Dudley, Tom Sappington, Tom Miller, Vincent Henrich, William Snyder, Xuguo Zhou, Yoonseong Park, Yves Carriere, Zachary Huang, Martha Hunter, Allen Miller, Ann Hajek, Aaron Gassmann, Astri Wayadande, Bradley Mullens, Bruce Hammock, Byron Adams, Claudio Gratton, Claus Tittiger, Colin Brent, Colin Orians, Darrell Moore, David Angelini, David Holway, David Bird, David Morton, David Tarpy, Deborah Letourneau, Derek Johnson, DeWayne Shoemaker, Dietmar Schwarz TARGET AUDIENCES: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period.

Impacts
The impacts of the 2005 workshop were to review progress in moving fundamental and applied research to implementation, and to identify critical needs to set new directions for grants programs and investigators. The impacts of the 2007 workshop were to enhance communication among investigators funded by USDA grants who are working in diverse areas. A key impact was sharing of ideas to increase awareness of opportunities for collaborative research, and to evaluate ways to better integrate research across levels of biological organization. Verbal and written feedback from the meeting suggests that the objectives were successfully met.

OUTPUTS: In 2007, a second workshop was held in conjunction with the Entomological Society of America annual meeting. There were over 100 attendees. (A list of actual and estimate participants is shown below.) Outputs included a poster session in which participants shared project information based on USDA awards; a symposium entitled "Building Connections in Applied Biology of Arthropods and/or Nematodes with Genomics" in which selected speakers highlighted either individual research in diverse areas spanning ecology to genomics or presented ideas about how research could be integrated across levels of biological organization; and a session led by panel managers to update awardees about the USDA grants programs and to answer questions.
