Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA HQ OECA 2023 001
The Pesticide Inspector Residential Training (PIRT) opportunity is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discretionary funding program designed to support a single recipient in running a national residential training program for pesticide regulatory personnel. The program is offered by the EPA Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA), specifically the Office of Compliance (OC), and it focuses on building and maintaining the technical and compliance skills of professionals who help implement and enforce pesticide laws and regulations in the field.
At its core, PIRT funds the planning and delivery of pesticide-related training for inspectors, scientists, supervisors, and managers who work in state, tribal, and U.S. territory pesticide regulatory programs. The trainees are primarily those operating under cooperative agreements with EPA under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The emphasis is on practical, compliance-focused learning that supports consistent and effective pesticide oversight across the country, including inspection readiness and program management capabilities tied to FIFRA implementation.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically means EPA expects to have substantial involvement in the work as compared with a standard grant. The assistance is described as being provided on an annual basis to carry out the PIRT program over a multi-year period covering fiscal years 2024 through 2028, reflecting a longer-term training mission rather than a one-time event or short project. While the program spans multiple years, the structure implies yearly support and ongoing delivery of training to meet evolving needs in pesticide enforcement and compliance.
Eligibility is geared toward public and quasi-public entities involved in pesticide regulatory capacity building, including states, federally recognized Indian tribes, Alaska Native Villages, inter-tribal consortia, and state and tribal institutions. The notice lists the eligible applicant type broadly and points applicants to the announcement for further clarification, but the intent is clear: EPA is looking for an organization with the capability to host and administer a residential training program that serves pesticide program staff from across jurisdictions.
From a funding and competition standpoint, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $3,000,000 and anticipates making one award. That combination signals that EPA is seeking one lead implementer to coordinate and deliver the training program nationally rather than funding multiple regional providers. The opportunity is categorized under the environmental funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 66.700, which is commonly used for EPA environmental program assistance.
Administrative details included in the listing identify the opportunity as EPA-HQ-OECA-2023-001, created July 5, 2023, with an original closing date of August 18, 2023, while also noting that Section IV of the official funding opportunity announcement should be consulted for definitive closing-date information. Overall, PIRT is best understood as a capacity-building award meant to strengthen FIFRA-related inspection and compliance work nationwide by ensuring the state, tribal, and territorial workforce has access to consistent, high-quality residential training.Apply for EPA HQ OECA 2023 001
