I. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

A. Legislative Authority

The Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) program is authorized as part of the Environmental

Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) (16 U.S.C. 3839aa-8). The Secretary of Agriculture delegated

the authority for the administration of EQIP, including CIG, to the Chief of the Natural Resources

Conservation Service (NRCS), who is Vice President of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC).

EQIP is funded and administered by NRCS under the authorities of CCC.

B. Overview

The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation

approaches and technologies 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) to agricultural producers, into NRCS technical manuals

and guides, or to the private sector. CIG generally funds pilot projects, field demonstrations, and

on-farm conservation research. On-farm conservation research is defined as an investigation

conducted to answer a specific applied conservation question using a statistically valid design while

employing farm-scale equipment on farms, ranches or private forest lands.
