Opportunity Summary:
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Missouri released this discretionary funding opportunity for Fiscal Year 2016 to support projects that expand conservation outreach and help Missourians better understand and use key Farm Bill conservation programs. The announcement is focused on building partnerships with organizations that can help NRCS promote public awareness and on-the-ground implementation of conservation activities, especially by delivering practical education to the agricultural community and other private landowners across the state.
Funding is offered through grants and cooperative agreements under the opportunity titled "Application for CTA and EQIP Grants Announcement for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Program Funding - MISSOURI" (Funding Opportunity Number: USDA NRCS EQIP CTA MO 16 01). The work aligns with Natural Resources-related assistance and is tied to CFDA program numbers 10.902 and 10.912, which correspond to NRCS conservation technical assistance and Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) type activities. In plain terms, the goal is to increase conservation adoption by pairing NRCS program goals with strong local delivery capacity, using education and outreach as the main tool.
The kinds of projects envisioned include conservation outreach workshops, conferences, trainings, and similar events that can reach Missouri farmers, ranchers, private landowners, conservation organizations, partner agencies, and the general public. The emphasis is on efforts that strengthen understanding of conservation practices and NRCS program opportunities, improve the ability of landowners and partners to participate effectively, and generally increase awareness and implementation of Farm Bill conservation initiatives in Missouri. While the announcement does not list every eligible organization type in the summary data provided, it indicates eligibility is open to "Others" as clarified in the full eligibility section of the notice, which typically means a range of partner entities may apply if they meet NRCS requirements outlined in the complete posting.
The application timeline for this specific funding round was straightforward: it was created and posted on April 12, 2016, and applications were due by May 13, 2016 (the original and current closing dates were the same). NRCS anticipated making about seven awards, with an award ceiling of $200,000. Overall, this opportunity was designed to fund a small set of partner-led projects that could deliver statewide or targeted regional conservation education and outreach, helping translate Farm Bill conservation priorities into practical participation and measurable conservation action on private lands in Missouri.
