July 13-15, 2010 Meeting
27 reviewers prepared a draft FY11 project slate
Suggestions were randomly assigned to primary and
secondary reviewers, assuring there was no conflict
of interest, prior to the meeting.
Additional assignments were made at the meeting for
reviews not completed beforehand. The primary
reviewer was tasked with documenting evaluations.

3 rounds of evaluation
• Individual reviewers
• Panels broken out into Goal areas
• Discussion in the large assembly of 27 reviewers
Many suggestions had merit; but the amount of funding
available ($50 million minus ~10% program support
costs) limit what can be funded.
Some suggestions were moved to different goals for a
better fit than the one indicated on the suggestion
form.

GOAL 1: Enhance plant pest/disease analysis
and survey
Multi-state surveys were emphasized with targeted
pests, e.g.
• Pollinators (Honey bees)
• Asian Defoliators
• Grapes/Lobesia botrana
• Tomato/Tuta absoluta
• Phytophthora. ramorum
• 1000 Cankers/Walnut Twig Beetle
• Plum Pox Virus
• Misc Surveys
Pathway and risk-based analysis suggestions were
supported

GOAL 2: Target domestic inspection activities
at vulnerable points in the safeguarding
continuum
• Detector Dogs
• Inspection of facilities that receive
imported cargo moving inland.

GOAL 3. Enhance and strengthen pest
identification and technology
Broad taxa were addressed
Several suggestions were grouped by similarity:
•
•
•
•
20
Fruit flies
Wood borers and bark beetles
Web-based multimedia pest identification tools
Regional taxonomic support

GOAL 4 – Safeguarding Nursery Production
•
Emphasis on projects harmonizing certification standards
and on pilot projects to implement those standards.

Control and management practices for Phytophthora
ramorum at the National Ornamentals Research Site,
Dominican University of California

Projects forming a broad-based initiative supporting the
development, validation, and implementation of auditbased systems for safeguarding nursery production

Initiatives to develop and pilot harmonized nursery stock
certification programs for economically important and
high-risk specialty crops, including fruit trees,
blueberries, and strawberries

GOAL 5: Conduct outreach and education to
increase public understanding, acceptance, and
support of plant pest and disease eradication
and control efforts
•
Many suggestions were commodity or pest specific.
•
63 of 115 suggestions were either related to the movement
of firewood or about citizen volunteer surveys.
•
Suggestions that were regional/national in scope, or were
adaptable to other states received high consideration, e.g.

GOAL 6: Enhance mitigation capabilities
The Team prioritized suggestions that:
23
•
•
•
Addressed emerging or relatively new pests
•
Had goals of eradication and containment
rather than management
Were short term responses rather than long
term management strategies

In instances where funds will be spent
directly by APHIS, it will ultimately benefit
the states:
•
•
•
•
•
24
Procuring traps and lures
Rapid Response assistance
Developing new technologies for early
detection and effective response
Training personnel and dog teams
Other endeavors that can most effectively
be accomplished at a national level
July 2010

Next Steps
Seek Department approval
APHIS will contact many of the parties who
submitted suggestions to request
clarification and facilitate collaboration
between similar suggestions that may
benefit from broader cooperation and
coordination.
25

APHIS will work with states and other
potential cooperators to fund additional
projects and activities, based upon the
evolving pest situation.
Release the FY11 spending plan as far in
advance of October 1, 2010 as is possible.
APHIS may not approach a cooperator to
initiate the cooperative agreement or
procurement process until October 1.
