The purpose of this project was to prepare objectives for a new 3-year entomology multistate grant proposal for submission in 2018. The Soybean Entomology Research Team in the North Central Region has a long track record of providing soybean producers with research-based information and outreach. Past projects have been successful in large part because of careful advanced planning and coordination before the proposals were written, including obtaining stakeholder input on priorities and extensive communication among PIs in the planning stages of the project. In preparation for our planning workshop we solicited stakeholder feedback at extension events with plans to coordinate among PIs at a planning workshop in November 2017. The workshop was held as planned in November 2017. During the workshop we developed objectives to include in a new soybean entomology grant proposal to the NCSRP. This proposal was submitted in May 2018 and subsequently funded.
