This program aims to support both bilateral and regional approaches to strengthen and align pesticide regulatory systems with those of the United States and international standard setting bodies by engaging in four categories, including 1) Registrations, 2) Standards (i.e., MRLs), 3) Compliance, and 4) Research. To accomplish this, this project will need to develop a cadre of technical and regulatory experts to conduct strategy development, create action plans, lead workshops, discussions and other engagements with foreign partners, provide education and extension in regulatory sciences to foreign agricultural specialists, conduct pesticide-focused research, and support the creation of domestic and international residue standards
