This grant, provided by the Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) program, is for stimulating the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies in conjunction with agricultural production. Its core purpose is to leverage federal investment in environmental enhancement by facilitating the transfer of proven conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (like market-based systems) into practical application, such as NRCS technical manuals or the private sector. The CIG explicitly funds on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations, for approaches that have shown a high likelihood of success, rather than funding research.

| Description: | The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies in conjunction with agricultural production while leveraging federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection. All 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 or guides or to the private sector. The CIG does not fund research projects. Instead, 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. The CIG program funds projects that target innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. |
