Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OCSPP OPS 2024 008
The Tribal Pesticide Program Council (TPPC) Technical Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA OCSPP OPS 2024 008) is a discretionary Environmental Protection Agency grant that will be awarded as a single cooperative agreement. The EPA expects to make one award, with funding up to an award ceiling of $1,075,000, to provide financial and administrative support for the TPPC and its related coordination activities. The program falls under CFDA 66.716 and is administered by the EPA.
The central purpose of the award is to strengthen how Tribal pesticide program needs and on-the-ground implementation issues are communicated and addressed across governments. The funded project is meant to help facilitate two-way coordination between Tribes and Alaska Native Villages and the EPA, while also supporting communication with other federal and state agencies whose actions affect pesticide management in Indian country. In practice, this means creating reliable channels for bringing Tribal priorities and implementation realities into conversations about pesticide oversight, compliance, and program development, while also ensuring Tribes and Alaska Native Villages receive timely information and support related to EPA pesticide initiatives.
A major emphasis of the funding is ensuring Tribes and Alaska Native Villages have meaningful input on EPA pesticide rules, guidance, policies, and programs that may affect them. The cooperative agreement is intended to support work that gathers, organizes, and communicates Tribal perspectives on proposed or existing EPA actions and helps coordinate feedback so it can be incorporated into agency decision-making. This also includes helping interpret and disseminate relevant EPA materials to Tribal pesticide officials so they can respond effectively and implement programs in ways that fit local conditions.
The opportunity also focuses on maintaining and expanding a functional network of Tribal pesticide officials. The funded organization is expected to support information-sharing across Tribes and Alaska Native Villages, helping practitioners learn from each other about program design, enforcement approaches, outreach, training needs, and practical solutions. The goal is to promote and enhance Tribal pesticide program development overall, including building capacity and supporting consistent peer-to-peer communication so successful strategies can be shared and adapted across different communities.
Another key objective is partnership-building. The award is designed to help build and maintain effective working relationships among Tribal governments, states, and nongovernmental organizations that have a role in pesticide-related issues. The intent is not only coordination for its own sake, but collaboration that leads to tangible progress on Tribal pesticide program priorities and problem-solving that is tailored to the specific legal, geographic, and public health realities of Indian country.
