Description
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.
The EPA intends to award a single cooperative agreement with total funding up to $2.1 million distributed over a five-year period. This cooperative agreement supports national and community-based training programs designed to improve health outcomes related to pesticide exposure.
