Opportunity Summary:

The Missouri State Workshops, Conference and Training grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS MO 11 02) is a discretionary grant program offered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) through its Missouri State Office. Its purpose is to build partnerships with natural resource conservation organizations and other interested groups, and to increase public awareness, understanding, and on-the-ground use of Farm Bill conservation activities in Missouri. In practical terms, NRCS is looking to fund education-focused events such as workshops, conferences, and training sessions that help people in the state better understand conservation programs and how to implement conservation practices.

The intended audiences for these funded events are broad and community-oriented. NRCS specifically highlights the Missouri farm community, private landowners, conservation organizations, cooperating agencies, and the general public. The overarching goal is capacity-building: helping people learn about conservation priorities, program options, and implementation approaches tied to Farm Bill-related conservation work. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the opportunity is connected to several CFDA program areas, including Soil and Water Conservation (10.902), Environmental Quality Incentives Program or EQIP (10.912), Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (10.914), and Watershed Rehabilitation Program (10.916). These references signal that eligible event topics can align with a range of conservation issues, such as soil health and erosion control, water quality and watershed protection, habitat and wildlife-focused practices, and rehabilitation or improvement of watershed infrastructure and function.

NRCS anticipated making around 10 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $1,000 (award floor) up to $50,000 (award ceiling), which suggests the agency was open to supporting both smaller local trainings and larger, statewide or multi-day conferences, depending on scope and expected impact. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowers the barrier to entry for organizations that can deliver strong training and outreach but may not have extra funds to contribute.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to many types of applicants, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement text. The program is framed around partnering with conservation-focused entities, so likely applicants could include nonprofits, conservation districts, educational institutions, professional associations, tribes, and other organizations capable of organizing and delivering credible trainings and events for Missouri landowners and conservation stakeholders.

Timing and deadlines were a key administrative detail for this opportunity. The announcement was posted on July 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 12, 2011. It also listed a second closing date of August 26, 2011, but only if funds remained available after the first round. The archive date was August 26, 2011, indicating the opportunity was time-limited and tied to a specific funding cycle.

For assistance with accessing the full announcement electronically or for administrative questions, the listed contact was James Crossley, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 573-876-0906. This contact point implies applicants could request help with obtaining the complete guidance, required forms, submission instructions, or clarifications needed to develop a compliant proposal.
