This grant is for the purpose of stimulating innovative conservation approaches and technologies to enhance environmental protection alongside agricultural production. Offered by NRCS, it aims to foster the development and adoption of solutions with a high likelihood of success, facilitating their transfer into NRCS technical guides or the private sector. The Conservation Innovation Grant specifically funds on-the-ground conservation initiatives, including pilot projects and field demonstrations, rather than research. Projects can span single or multi-year periods, not exceeding three years. Eligible applicants include Federally-recognized Indian Tribes, State and local governments, non-governmental organizations, and individuals, all working towards advancing sustainable conservation practices.

| 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. NRCS will accept applications for single or multi-year projects, not to exceed 3 years, submitted to NRCS from eligible entities including Federally-recognized Indian Tribes, State and local governments, and non-governmental organizations and individuals. The State Conservationist reserves the right to not fund any or all proposals. For information about the national program, visit: http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/cig/. |
