Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), offered the Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act Partnership Grants as a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA OPP 08 002) aimed at strengthening partnerships that address pesticide risk management. The central emphasis of the program is on practical, collaborative work that promotes Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches, meaning strategies that reduce reliance on pesticides through prevention, monitoring, targeted treatment, and other science-based methods that manage pests while limiting risks to people and the environment. Under CFDA 66.716, the program supports activities such as research, development, monitoring, public education, training, demonstrations, and related studies, all tied to improving how pesticide risks are understood and managed in real-world settings.
Funding for the competition was projected at about $1,000,000 total, with a maximum award (ceiling) of $250,000 per project. The announcement indicated no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have access to non-federal matching funds. The underlying intent is to catalyze on-the-ground partnerships rather than fund isolated efforts, so proposals were expected to show collaboration and a clear connection between project activities and measurable improvements in pesticide risk management, particularly through IPM adoption, education, or implementation.
Eligibility was broad and included state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities where applicable), as well as individuals and other applicants as further clarified in the full announcement. Applicants were directed to consult Section III of the official notice for detailed eligibility rules and any limitations or special conditions, which is common for EPA competitions where eligibility can hinge on organizational type, proposed activities, or partnership structure.
The opportunity was posted on May 23, 2008, with the application due date listed as June 19, 2008, and an archive date of July 19, 2008. The notice emphasized that applicants should rely on the full announcement, particularly Section IV, for specifics on submission methods and exact due-date requirements, since federal solicitations often include strict formatting, delivery, and timestamp rules. For access issues related to the full announcement, the EPA provided a point of contact: Frank Ellis at (703) 308-8107.
