Specific timetable for research and Consortium activities/products are provided below. These serve as verifiable indicators of progress, as well as quantitative milestones for monitoring achievement of stated objectives.

    The long-term goals of the program will be achieved when CIMSPIP: (1) attains significantly increased levels of usable technologies; (2) organizes workshops; (3) significantly increases number of publications in scientific journals and extension publications; (4) updates a web site with usable information; and, (5) provides a cost-benefit analysis of the different pest management methods. This will take approximately five years.
