Farmworker Training and Education Program for Pesticide Safety
The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is soliciting proposals to fund cooperative agreements to improve farmworker communities’ understanding of the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), agricultural pesticide safety, and related rights through training, the development of trainings and materials,
and outreach.
The cooperative agreements will involve farmworker communities and organizations.
This involvement will make training and materials more culturally appropriate, which aims to increase their effectiveness.
Under the NOFO, two different types of cooperative agreements are offered:The Type 1 agreement will train farmworker communities nationally (across rural areas in many states and territories).
It will focus on the required, EPA approved WPS trainings for workers and handlers.The Type 2 agreement is for a subaward program.
The grant recipient will distribute funds to other organizations for education and outreach projects with farmworker communities.
Projects will focus on topics in agricultural pesticide safety that supplement or reinforce the WPS requirements.
They will be local and regional (relating to a particular area or part of the country).
For further details, please see the funding opportunity.
