The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is offering its Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) to eligible government, non-governmental organizations, and individuals. This grant is specifically designed for projects spanning one to three years, with the core purpose of stimulating the development and successful adoption of proven conservation approaches or technologies. Distinct from research funding, the CIG supports innovative on-the-ground conservation, including vital pilot projects and field demonstrations. To be considered, all proposed projects must actively involve farmers or landowners who fully meet the established EQIP eligibility requirements, ensuring practical and impactful application of new conservation methods.

| Description: | NRCS requests proposals from eligible government, non-governmental organizations, or individuals which seek competitive consideration of grant awards for projects between one and three years in duration. CIG does not fund research projects; rather, CIG funds proposals that stimulate the development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have been studied sufficiently to indicate a likelihood of success. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. To be eligible, projects must involve farmers or landowners who meet the EQIP eligibility requirements (see section III). |
