The NRCS Georgia Conservation Innovation Grant aims to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, leveraging federal investment for environmental enhancement and agricultural production. This grant is for projects that will transfer proven conservation methods and management systems into NRCS policy or the private sector. It specifically funds the application of technologies already shown to be effective, not new research or hypothesis formulation. The initiative supports innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. Its purpose is to promote the sharing of skills, knowledge, and technologies, ensuring scientific advancements are accessible for wider use.

| Description: | The purpose of Conservation Innovation Grants (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 policy, technical manuals, guides, and references or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects. Projects intended to formulate hypothesis do not qualify. CIG is to apply proven technology which has been shown to work previously. 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 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. |
