The North Dakota Department of Agriculture offers the Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) program to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies. CIG projects aim to enhance environmental protection while supporting agricultural production. Projects should lead to the transfer of conservation technologies and innovative approaches into NRCS technical manuals or the private sector. This grant funds on-the-ground conservation projects, pilot projects, and field demonstrations. Applications are evaluated based on specific criteria, and final award selections are made by the State Conservationist. For more information, contact the Technical Contact: Ronald Herr or the Administrative Contact: Pamela Schell.

| Description: | The purpose of Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) program is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies while leveraging Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection, in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as market-based systems) into NRCS technical manuals or guides, or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects. Instead, it is a vehicle to stimulate the development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have been studied sufficiently to indicate a likelihood of success and that are candidates for eventual technology transfer. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. Complete applications will be evaluated by a technical peer review panel and scored based on the Criteria for Proposal Evaluation identified in this document. Scored applications will be forwarded to a Grant Review Board. The Grant Review Board will make recommendations for project approval to the State Conservationist. Final award selections will be made by the State Conservationist. The Technical Contact: is Ronald Herr, Office: 701.530.2051, email ronald.herr@nd.usda.gov.
