Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS ME CIG 16 01
The Maine Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) aims to encourage the development and implementation of innovative conservation practices and technologies. This initiative seeks to maximize federal investments in environmental protection while supporting agricultural productivity. Projects funded by CIG should focus on transferring conservation technologies and management strategies into official NRCS resources or the private sector.
CIG emphasizes actionable on-the-ground conservation efforts, including pilot projects and demonstrations, rather than traditional research, except for on-farm conservation research that answers specific conservation questions using proper study designs and farm-scale equipment.
Eligible applicants include Indian Tribes, state and local governments, non-profit organizations, and individuals from Maine. Proposals can be for single or multiyear projects, with a maximum duration of three years. Submitted proposals will undergo a screening process, and only complete submissions will be evaluated by a technical peer review panel. The Maine NRCS Review Board will then review and recommend projects for approval to the State Conservationist, who will make the final decisions.Apply for USDA NRCS ME CIG 16 01
