The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offers the Utah Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) to foster the development and adoption of innovative conservation methods and technologies. This grant leverages federal investment to enhance environmental protection alongside agricultural production. It is designed to facilitate the transfer of successful conservation technologies and management systems into NRCS technical guides or the private sector. The CIG specifically supports on-the-ground conservation efforts, including pilot projects and field demonstrations, for approaches with proven likelihood of success. It does not fund research but instead aims to stimulate the institutionalization and widespread use of innovative solutions.
