This funding opportunity from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) aims to enhance the capacity of health care providers (HCPs) nationwide and in community settings to effectively address pesticide-related illnesses. The initiative focuses on improving HCPs' abilities to prevent, recognize, treat, manage, and report illnesses caused by pesticide exposure. A key component is ensuring that providers consider social determinants of health, cultural contexts, and vulnerabilities of patients who are at high risk for pesticide-related health issues.
