Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2012 Tribal Pesticide Special Projects opportunity is a competitive EPA Region 5 funding program aimed at supporting practical, on-the-ground projects that reduce or better understand pesticide-related risks in Indian Country. The funding is authorized under Section 20 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and it is offered through CFDA 66.716 using State and Tribal Grant (STAG) appropriations. The overall intent is to protect human health and the environment by helping Tribal communities address pesticide exposure through applied work such as education, outreach, training, monitoring, and demonstration efforts.
Projects funded under this announcement are expected to focus on assessing or reducing pesticide risks. The EPA is looking for proposals that can show clear public health or environmental benefits, such as improving safe pesticide use practices, strengthening local capacity to monitor or respond to pesticide issues, or educating community members and applicators about reducing exposure. A major emphasis is placed on demonstration projects, which must involve new or experimental technologies, methods, or approaches rather than routine activities. Importantly, demonstration projects also need a knowledge-sharing component, meaning applicants are expected to disseminate results so other Tribes and organizations can learn from what worked, what did not, and what could be replicated elsewhere.
This opportunity uses two main funding instruments: grants and cooperative agreements. The announcement anticipates making about four awards, with total estimated funding of $122,000. Individual awards are expected to fall between $30,000 (award floor) and $60,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which lowers the barrier for Tribes and eligible Tribal entities to participate.
Eligibility is specifically limited beyond the broader CFDA 66.716 universe. While STAG-funded CFDA 66.716 programs can include States, Tribes, Alaska Native villages, and intertribal consortia, EPA Region 5 restricted this competition to Federally recognized Tribes, Tribal Organizations, and Intertribal Consortia whose membership is composed exclusively of Federally recognized Tribes. The purpose of that restriction is to ensure the funded work directly supports pesticide-related projects in Indian Country and aligns with EPA competition policy (referenced as EPA Order 5700.5A1), which allows EPA to narrow eligibility for certain competitions, including limiting eligibility to Tribes within a specific region.
The key timeline details in the posting show the opportunity was posted and created on March 1, 2012, with an application closing date of April 18, 2012. The archive date is May 18, 2012, indicating the opportunity is no longer open after that period. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for submission instructions, acceptable submission methods, and any detailed due date requirements.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating the process, the listed point of contact is Amy Mysz in EPA Region 5, reachable by phone at 312-886-0224. The funding opportunity number tied to this announcement is EPA R5 TPPP 2012, and it is categorized as a discretionary environmental funding opportunity focused on research, development, monitoring, public education, training, demonstrations, and studies related to pesticides.
