- What it does
- Grants are awarded to support research, development, monitoring, public education, outreach, training, demonstration, and studies relating to the protection of public health and the environment from pesticides, and potential risk from toxic substances. Through innovative partnerships and collaboration, grants are also awarded to promote source reduction and prevent pollution before it begins. This reduces waste, saves energy and natural resources, and leaves our homes, schools and workplaces cleaner and safer. In FY 2025, EPA will continue to prioritize and support the following: 1. Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP)/Certification, Worker Protection Branch (CWPB): (a) Engaging All Stakeholders; (b) National Farmworker Training Program; (c) National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC); (d) Pesticide Educational Resources Collaborative (PERC); and (e) Pesticide Safety Education Funds Management Program (PSEP). OPP will continue to support the Tribal Pesticide Program Council (TPCC), the Pesticide Regulatory Education Program (PREP), and the Association of American Pesticide Control Officials (AAPCO). These assistance agreements provide assistance for our states, tribes and territories. 2. Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT): (a) National Toxics Tribal Council (NTTC) and (b) Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's?(OECD). 3. Office of Compliance (OC): Pesticide Inspector Residential Training (PIRT).

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
