The Statewide IPM Project is a part of the UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The project, headed by a director, reports to the DANR Associate Vice President for Programs. An associate director for research provides liaison with IPM researchers at the various UC campuses and field stations and chairs the project's Technical Committee. The Technical Committee , made up of the chairs of each of the project's research workgroups plus key IPM project personnel, advises the director on allocation of research funds. The Technical Committee relies to a large degree on the recommendations of the research workgroups, which represent a diversity of UC Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension academic staff, and solicits advice from DANR commodity workgroups.

The project has about 30 permanentstaff members. The implementation staff includes eight area or regional IPM advisors situated in county or regional offices, including an extension IPM coordinator located at the UC Kearney Agricultural Center in Parlier. The project's administrative office and all other staff are located on the Davis campus. The computer group has a manager, two programmers, a computer resource specialist, a writer, and a meteorology assistant. The IPM education and publications group has a director, four writers, an assistant editor, and clerical staff. Located with the education and publications group is the pesticide education program with a pesticide training coordinator, two farmworker safety trainers, and a program assistant. UC IPM directory.
