<br/>The IR-4 Project has assisted growers for many years in gaining access to plant protection products.  In this endeavor, IR-4 focuses on products that are highly effective in integrated pest management (IPM) systems that also provide a higher level of safety to applicators, consumers and the environment.  IR-4 has had to build many partnerships, reinforced with confidence, in order to have access to the latest plant protection technology that meet the above criteria.  These partnerships have led to IR-4’s participation in several global joint reviews and well in the structured routine process for Minor Use Joint reviews in North America.  This paper will share some of IR-4s participation in the global joint review process with products such as chlorantraniliprole, flupyradiflurone, oxathiapiprolin, and detail the formalized minor use joint review process in North America.  It will also provide a historical perspective where these efforts have contributed to the Crop Protection Industry moving from relatively few crops being submitted in their phase one submissions, to including a much larger number of crops, including many specialty crops.  As well, secondary submissions are including larger number of crops.  This makes the process efficient while address specialty crop grower needs at the same time. <br/>
