Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 New Hampshire Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) opportunity was a competitive USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) funding announcement (CFDA 10.912, tied to the Environmental Quality Incentives Program) aimed at encouraging new and creative conservation methods and technologies. The core purpose of the program was to stimulate the development, testing, and adoption of innovative approaches that improve conservation outcomes in agricultural and natural resource settings. This particular announcement was limited to applicants proposing projects to be carried out in the State of New Hampshire.
For fiscal year 2013, NRCS anticipated up to $59,300 in total funding available under this state competition. The notice projected about four awards, with individual grant amounts ranging from a minimum (floor) of $1,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $59,300, depending on project scope and the availability of funds. Proposed projects were expected to run between one and three years, emphasizing implementation and measurable progress within a defined period rather than open-ended research.
Eligibility was broad and included both governmental and non-governmental entities as well as individuals. Eligible applicant types listed in the announcement included state, county, and city or township governments; federally recognized tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; small businesses; nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); and individuals. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources toward the project in addition to the grant funds, consistent with CIG program rules.
Applications were subject to an initial screening for completeness and compliance with the instructions in the notice. The announcement made it clear that incomplete applications would be removed from consideration, and the applicant would be notified of elimination by email. The application deadline was firm: proposals had to be received by NRCS no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 17, 2013.
Submission instructions allowed for delivery by hand, express mail, or overnight courier to the USDA NRCS office in Durham, New Hampshire, addressed to Betty Anderson, Acting Grants and Agreement Specialist, at the Federal Building, 2 Madbury Road, Durham, NH 03824-2043. Applicants submitting through Grants.gov were instructed to also email a PDF copy to betty.anderson@nh.usda.gov, creating a parallel submission step specifically required by the New Hampshire NRCS office for this competition. Program and application questions could be directed to James Spielman, Acting Assistant State Conservationist, at the same Durham office, with contact provided by phone and email.
Overall, this opportunity was a small, state-focused CIG competition designed to fund a handful of time-limited projects that could demonstrate innovative conservation practices in New Hampshire, with applicants expected to meet matching requirements, follow submission procedures precisely, and ensure their applications were complete to remain eligible for competitive review.
