This grant, the Conservation Innovative Grants (CIG) from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), aims to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies. Its core purpose is to leverage federal investments for environmental enhancement, protection, and agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to transfer advanced conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative strategies, including market-based systems, into NRCS technical guides or the private sector. This grant supports innovative on-the-ground conservation efforts, such as pilot projects and field demonstrations, for approaches that have been sufficiently studied and show high potential for successful technology transfer. It specifically funds the implementation of proven innovations, not new research projects.

| 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 technical manuals, guides, and references or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects. 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 funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. |
