PERC creates pesticide-related educational materials like manuals, videos, fact sheets, and other creative pieces.

The Pesticide Educational Resources Collaborative (PERC) is operated through a cooperative agreement with the US EPA (X8-84019401). Every two years, the PERC Advisory Board will evaluate project ideas, set priorities based on national or widespread regional needs, and approve a series of projects for production in the following year. In general, proposals are not evaluated singly, but in batches. Occasionally, a proposal may be time-sensitive, and there is a fast-track process available.

After a project is approved, PERC is required to use a competitive process to select Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and production professionals (i.e. illustrators, videographers). Selected individuals may be paid by PERC.
