Opportunity Summary:
The FY15 Oregon Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) opportunity was a competitive grant program run by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Oregon State Office to encourage new, practical conservation ideas. The main purpose was to stimulate the development, testing, and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies that address natural resource concerns in Oregon. For fiscal year 2015, NRCS indicated that up to $250,000 in total funding could be available through this statewide competition, with the focus limited to Oregon's State Resource Concern Category.
Projects funded under this opportunity were expected to be time-limited and results-oriented, with a project period of 1 to 3 years. Individual proposals could request up to $75,000 in federal funds (there was no stated minimum award amount), and all funded work had to be implemented within the state of Oregon. The opportunity required cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources toward the project budget rather than relying entirely on federal dollars.
Eligibility was broadly described as open and unrestricted, but with an important qualifier: proposals were sought from eligible non-federal government and non-government organizations, as well as individuals, as long as they met any requirements described in the full announcement. In other words, the program was designed to welcome a wide range of applicants such as local or state entities, nonprofits, producer groups, academic partners, and private individuals, provided they could meet the program rules and deliver a conservation innovation project in Oregon.
Administratively, this was a discretionary grant opportunity (not an entitlement), categorized under Natural Resources. The funding opportunity number was AG-0436-G-15-0002 and the title was "FY15 Oregon Conservation Innovation Grants." The notice was posted on April 2, 2015, and applications were due by May 29, 2015, with the opportunity archived on June 2, 2015. The listing referenced an expected number of awards of 50, which suggests NRCS anticipated making multiple smaller awards depending on the quality of proposals, available funds, and the required match.
For support or access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed was Todd Peplin, Farm Bill Specialist and CIG Manager, reachable by phone at 503-414-3292.
