Request for Cooperators for Strategic Agricultural Initiative Funding: EPA Region 5 seeks to establish a Cooperative Agreement for implementing programs to reduce pesticide risk in agricultural production of minor crops. Assistance agreement recipients must be capable of administering a competitive grants program, including evaluation and outreach, across state boundaries, crop commodities, and natural resource concerns. We seek partnerships that bring together key stakeholders involved in minor crop production in order to reduce pesticide risk to the food supply, workers, and the environment. Experience in quantifying pesticide risk-reduction strategies and a track record of successful, on-farm pesticide reduction research and demonstration programs is sought.
