This Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) grant is for stimulating the development and adoption of innovative, proven conservation approaches and technologies. It leverages federal investment for environmental enhancement and protection integrated with agricultural production. The grant aims to transfer successful conservation technologies and management systems into NRCS policy or the private sector. It specifically funds the application or demonstration of existing solutions, not new research or hypothesis testing. Projects promote sharing skills and knowledge, supporting on-the-ground innovative conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations, with a high likelihood of technology transfer and institutionalization.

| 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 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 a candidate 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. |
