PESP Regional Grants

Also known as Regional Initiative Grants, PESP Regional Grants are administered by EPA's Regional Offices. These grants support pollution prevention projects that are important to and complement ongoing efforts of PESP and the EPA Regional Offices.

This program addresses national pesticide program stewardship priorities related to pest management needs and IPM program adoption and measures and documents the effects of using the reduced-risk IPM programs on the environment, human health and communities within the pesticide program priorities.

Eligible applicants include the 50 States, District of Columbia, U.S. Virgin Islands, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, any territory or possession of the United States, any agency or instrumentality of a State including State universities, and all federally recognized Indian tribal governments.

USDA IR-4 Biopesticide Grant Program

In 2004, EPA entered into an inter-agency agreement with USDA’s Interregional Research Project #4 (IR-4) to administer a competitive grants program to fund field demonstrations of biopesticides used within IPM systems. The goal is to reduce barriers to increased adoption of biopesticides nationally by funding field demonstrations of effective biopesticides. The field demonstrations are intended to increase awareness of effective options for integrating biologically-based technologies into existing crop products systems and to promote the use of novel combinations of biopesticides to enhance product performance.
