This Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) is for stimulating the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies. It leverages federal investment for environmental enhancement in agricultural production, aiming to transfer proven conservation solutions into NRCS policy or the private sector. This grant supports applying established technologies for on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. It explicitly excludes funding for new research or hypothesis formulation. The CIG promotes sharing knowledge and skills, making scientific and technological advancements accessible to a wider range of users for practical application.

| Description: | The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the 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 policy, technical manuals, guides, and references or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects. Projects intended to formulate hypothesis do not qualify. CIG is to apply proven technology which has been shown to work previously. 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 to be candidates for eventual technology transfer or institutionalization. CIG promotes sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, and facilities among communities, governments, and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. |
