Grant Description

The Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is soliciting applications from state or local government public health authorities to support state pesticide incident surveillance efforts. For the purposes of this funding announcement, state or local government public health authorities will be referred to as “state health departments”. In order to protect public health, state health departments conduct occupational health surveillance to identify risks and respond with effective, data-driven health intervention efforts. It is also important to monitor occupational health on a broader, ideally national, level to identify emerging problems related to pesticide use and exposure. However, no national surveillance program exists at this time. There is a great need for more robust and consolidated pesticide incident data.
