Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS GA CIG GEN0010107
The Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) opportunity is a USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) funding program designed to spur the development, testing, and broader adoption of new and improved conservation approaches and technologies. For this particular announcement, NRCS is soliciting applications for projects that will be carried out in the state of Georgia, with the overall goal of advancing practical, innovative conservation solutions that can be demonstrated and then replicated or scaled by producers, organizations, and communities.
For fiscal year 2019, NRCS is making up to $300,000 available under this Georgia CIG notice. The maximum amount allowed for any single award is $75,000, and NRCS anticipates making around four awards based on the total funding and the stated award ceiling. Awards may be issued as either grants or cooperative agreements, and the program is categorized under natural resources assistance (CFDA 10.912). Projects are expected to run between one and three years, giving applicants flexibility to propose shorter pilot efforts or multi-year demonstrations depending on what is needed to prove an approach and document results.
Eligibility is broad: all non-federal entities and individuals may apply, and the only explicit exclusion is federal agencies. In practical terms, that means applications may come from a wide range of applicants such as nonprofit organizations, universities, local governments, producer groups, private businesses, and individual innovators, as long as the project itself is implemented in Georgia and aligns with the program purpose of conservation innovation and adoption.
The deadline is firm. Applications must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on June 10, 2019, and late submissions will not be reviewed or considered. NRCS will determine whether an application is on time using the system-generated time and date receipts from both required submission methods, so applicants need to plan for any technical delays and ensure that both confirmation timestamps fall before the cutoff.
Submission requires two separate actions, and both are mandatory. First, the application must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. Second, a complete PDF copy of the entire application package must also be emailed to tansel.hudson@ga.usda.gov by the same deadline. If either the Grants.gov submission or the emailed PDF arrives late (or is missing), the application will be treated as late or incomplete and will not move forward for review.
Applicants should be prepared to use Grants.gov Workspace, which is the standard online application environment within Grants.gov. Workspace is built to let applicants and their team members work on different forms at the same time, and it supports completing forms either directly online or by working with downloadable PDFs that are then uploaded back into the system. The opportunity is listed as "Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG)" with Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS GA CIG GEN0010107, and it was created on April 10, 2019 with a closing date of June 10, 2019, under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service.Apply for USDA NRCS GA CIG GEN0010107
