The NRCS offers the Conservation Innovation Grants to advance innovative conservation approaches and technologies while enhancing environmental protection in conjunction with agricultural production. The grants promote the transfer of proven conservation technologies and approaches into NRCS policy and the private sector. Funding is not for research but to apply existing technologies successfully. The grants aim to facilitate the adoption of effective conservation methods and technologies, encouraging collaboration and knowledge-sharing among communities and institutions. Projects should focus on implementing innovative on-the-ground conservation practices, such as pilot projects and field demonstrations. Application deadline is April 1, 2014.

CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches into NRCS policy, technical manuals, guides, and references, or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects and projects intended to test hypotheses do not qualify for a CIG award. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology. It is a vehicle to stimulate development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have been studied sufficiently to indicate a high likelihood of success, and that are 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. |
