Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS CA 12 003
The Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) program in California is seeking applications to promote the development and adoption of innovative conservation methods and technologies. For the fiscal year 2012, a total of $375,000 is available, with individual grants capped at $75,000. The program invites proposals from government and non-government entities, as well as individuals, for projects lasting between one and three years.
Applications are due by 5 p.m. PST on May 18, 2012, and must be submitted to the NRCS California State Office in Davis. The focus of the CIG program is on practical conservation solutions that have a high likelihood of success based on prior research. Projects should not be purely research-oriented; instead, they need to demonstrate existing technologies and practices aimed at enhancing environmental protection in conjunction with agricultural activities.
Confirmed projects should address areas such as nutrient management, energy conservation, soil health, and wildlife management. Innovative proposals that leverage proven technologies or develop new conservation approaches will be prioritized. The selection process involves evaluation by NRCS staff based on specific criteria, with final recommendations made by the California CIG Program Manager.
Eligible participants include federal and state entities, recognized tribes, non-profits, and private businesses across all states and U.S. territories. For more information, applicants can contact CIG Program Specialists via phone or email.Apply for USDA NRCS CA 12 003
