Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS RI CIG 18 001
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), released a Rhode Island-specific Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) funding announcement for federal fiscal year 2018. This opportunity is a discretionary grant program under CFDA 10.912 and is intended to stimulate the development, testing, and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies. In practical terms, the program is aimed at supporting projects that can improve how conservation is planned and implemented, especially where new tools, methods, or partnerships can demonstrate better environmental and natural resource outcomes and then be adopted more broadly.
Funding under this announcement is limited to projects that will be carried out in the state of Rhode Island. NRCS indicated that up to $128,000 total was available statewide for FY 2018 under this solicitation, with an expectation of making about three awards. The maximum amount that can be awarded to any single selected project is $75,000, which means awards are designed to be relatively focused and pilot-oriented rather than large, multi-million-dollar efforts. Projects can run for a period of one to three years, giving applicants flexibility to propose either short demonstrations or longer trials and evaluations depending on what the innovation requires to show measurable results.
Eligibility is broad and is open to essentially all non-federal entities and individuals, with federal agencies being the only applicants explicitly excluded. Eligible applicant types listed include state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); small businesses; and individuals. This wide eligibility reflects the program's intent to encourage a range of innovators, including farmers and landowners, universities, conservation districts, nonprofits, and private-sector technology or service providers, as long as the work benefits conservation in Rhode Island.
