Grant Description: The EPA is accepting proposals to develop alterative stewardship approaches to disposal, including "mail back" or "take back" pilot demonstrations. Such pilot projects would include not only the prudent disposal of the unused medications (including personal care products) but also an inventory of the types (categories or identities) and quantities of drugs returned. Inventory data could prove useful to the medical community in altering its prescribing practices to reduce the incidence of leftover or unused medications. EPA intends to award up to three awards for a total of approximately $225,000-$300,000.
