Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), issued the Pesticide Safety Program Request for Applications (RFA) to fund a national and international effort focused on pesticide health and safety. The central purpose of the opportunity is to support programs that assess needs, develop practical interventions, and strengthen health and safety initiatives that reduce pesticide exposure across the agricultural sector. The work is meant to reach a broad audience, including agricultural workers, pesticide applicators, growers, health care providers, pesticide producers and retailers, and a wide range of partner organizations such as local, state, national, and international groups, government agencies, and other members of the agricultural community.
This grant is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means EPA expects substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination, technical input, or collaboration on program direction and deliverables) rather than a more hands-off relationship associated with standard grants. The agreement is planned for a five-year period, with an estimated total program value of 3,600,000 dollars across the full term. For fiscal year 2009 specifically, EPA anticipated approximately 400,000 dollars available for an award, and the listing indicates one expected award. The award ceiling is identified as 400,000 dollars, aligning with the expected FY 2009 amount. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, so applicants were not required to contribute a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of eligibility.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, under the environment activity area, and is associated with CFDA number 66.716 (Research, Development, Monitoring, Public Education, Training, Demonstrations, and Studies). That CFDA framing signals that the program can include a mix of research or evaluation, monitoring of health and safety conditions, education and outreach, training efforts, demonstrations of best practices, and related studies that support exposure reduction and safer pesticide use.
Eligibility is broad and includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments, state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, along with public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and individuals. The announcement also notes additional eligibility details in Section III of the full solicitation, implying there may be clarifications, limitations, or documentation requirements that applicants would need to follow (for example, definitions of eligible entity types, partnership expectations, or other conditions).
Key dates show the RFA was posted and created on August 19, 2009, with an original and current closing date of October 2, 2009. The listing emphasizes that applicants should refer to the full announcement, particularly Section IV, for the specific submission methods and detailed due date instructions. The opportunity was archived on November 1, 2009, reflecting that it was a time-limited solicitation.
For applicants needing help accessing the complete announcement, the contact listed is Carol Parker at 703-305-6458. The funding opportunity number for reference is EPA OPP 2009 005, and the official title is Pesticide Safety Program Request for Applications (RFA).
