EPA Aging Initiative announces Requests for Proposals for Prudent Disposal of Unwanted Medications.
The EPA is accepting proposals to develop alternative stewardship approaches to disposal, including "mail back" or "take back" pilot demonstrations. Such pilot projects would include not only the prudent disposal of the unused medications but also an inventory of the types and quantities of drugs returned. Inventory data could prove useful to the medical community in altering its prescribing practices to reduce the incidence of leftover or unused medications.
EPA intends to award up to three awards for a total of approximately $225,000-$300,000.
Proposals are due by September 29, 2006.
