Opportunity Summary:
The Missouri State Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) opportunity is a competitive grant program run by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Missouri State Office to encourage new, practical conservation ideas on agricultural lands in Missouri. The central goal is to stimulate the development and real-world adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, meaning proposals are expected to go beyond routine conservation work and instead test, demonstrate, or accelerate the use of new methods that can improve natural resource outcomes on working lands. Although applicants may be located anywhere in the 50 states or certain U.S. territories (including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands), the work funded under this competition must be carried out within the state of Missouri.
For fiscal year 2011, NRCS anticipated making about 150,000 dollars available through this statewide Missouri competition, with an expectation of roughly three awards. Individual awards could range from as little as 1 dollar up to a maximum of 50,000 dollars per grant, and the State Conservationist retained the discretion to offer more or less total funding than the estimate depending on program priorities and available resources. Projects were designed to be relatively short-term and action-oriented, with project periods between one and three years. Funding was offered as a discretionary grant under the Natural Resources category, and the opportunity was connected to the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) under CFDA 10.912.
Eligibility was broad. Applicants could be federally recognized Indian Tribes, state or local units of government, non-governmental organizations, or individuals, as long as they met any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. A key condition of this funding opportunity was that it required cost sharing or matching, so applicants needed to plan for contributing non-federal resources to support the project alongside the federal award. Because awards were made through a competitive process, applications had to be prepared to meet the stated objectives, follow the application instructions, and present a convincing case that the proposed innovation could produce measurable conservation benefits and be replicated or scaled across Missouri agriculture if successful.
The opportunity was posted on March 24, 2011, and had an application deadline of April 28, 2011, with the program archived on April 29, 2011. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact James Crossley, Contract Specialist, at 573-876-0906, who served as the administrative point of contact.
