Hello.

of the Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP).
Proposed projects must address implementation of integrated pest management
approaches that reduce the risks associated with pesticide use in an agricultural

of the project to the goals of PESP. 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.
The total estimated funding expected to be available for awards under
this competitive opportunity is approximately $530,000. The Agency anticipates
funding approximately eleven (11) projects, one per EPA Region (except
in Region 9 where up to two projects may be 2 funded), with
a maximum funding level of $53,000 per project. The project period
of performance is limited to two years. Selections and awards will be
