Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS MESO 15 1
The Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) for Fiscal Year 2015 in Maine aim to promote the development and adoption of innovative conservation methods and technologies. These grants seek to enhance environmental protection while supporting agricultural production. CIG projects should facilitate the transfer of conservation technologies and management systems into official NRCS guidance or the private sector, focusing on proven methods that can be scaled up.
The program encourages collaboration among various stakeholders, including communities and institutions, to broaden access to new scientific and technological advancements. CIG specifically funds on-the-ground conservation efforts, such as pilot projects and field demonstrations, but does not typically support general research unless it's related to on-farm conservation research. This type of research must address specific conservation questions using statistically valid methods and farm-scale equipment. Overall, CIG prioritizes innovative strategies that enhance natural resource management alongside agricultural practices.Apply for USDA NRCS MESO 15 1
