Description
The
Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is soliciting proposals from eligible
parties for an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cooperative agreement to
provide financial assistance to an eligible organization to provide education,
training, resources, and technical assistance to increase Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) implementation in kindergarten to 12th grade (K-12) public and
tribal schools nationwide. IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests that
combines biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools in a way that
minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks. The grantee will conduct a
national program, using their existing organizational structure and established
relationships with school districts throughout the US, to further IPM adoption
by schools. EPA encourages projects that utilize consortia, partnerships, and
other collaborative means of conducting the project.
