Opportunity Summary:
Missouri's Revised CIG Announcement is a competitive grant opportunity run through USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Missouri under the Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) program. The basic purpose is to encourage new, practical conservation ideas that producers and land managers can actually use, especially approaches and technologies that improve environmental outcomes while still supporting agricultural production. In other words, the program is designed to push conservation beyond standard practice by testing and demonstrating innovative methods, then helping move those methods toward broader adoption.
Funding for this opportunity comes from the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), and it is offered as discretionary grant funding. For FY 2009, Missouri NRCS anticipated a total program pool of about $750,000, with roughly 10 to 15 awards expected through a statewide competitive selection process. Individual awards were intended to range from a minimum of $5,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $75,000, and no single Missouri project could receive more than $75,000 in federal CIG funding.
Projects supported by CIG are meant to be pilot projects or conservation field trials, with project periods lasting from one to three years. A key rule is cost sharing: the grant cannot cover more than 50 percent of the total project cost. That means at least half of the overall project budget must be matched with non-federal resources provided by the applicant, and the match can be a mix of cash and in-kind contributions. The intent is to ensure applicants have real stake in the work and to leverage federal dollars with outside investment.
Eligibility is broad but limited to non-federal entities. Applicants can include federally recognized Indian Tribes, state or local units of government, non-governmental organizations, and individuals. The focus is on proposals that fit within Missouri NRCS priorities and that clearly demonstrate innovation, feasibility, and potential for conservation impact within the state.
The announcement notes two funding categories for FY 2009: a Natural Resource Concerns Category and a Technology Category. While the notice does not list specific practice areas in the text provided, the structure suggests applicants could propose either innovative solutions targeting priority resource problems (for example, soil, water, air, wildlife habitat, or related conservation concerns) or projects that test, adapt, or demonstrate new tools and technologies that improve conservation outcomes.
In terms of responsibilities, NRCS provides technical oversight for awarded projects, but the grantee is responsible for delivering the technical assistance needed to carry out the project successfully. That is an important distinction: recipients should be prepared to manage the work, provide expertise, coordinate partners, and document results rather than relying on NRCS to run the project day to day.
Administrative details in the source indicate the opportunity was posted in April 2009, with an application closing date of April 17, 2009, and an archive date of May 17, 2009. The opportunity is identified as USDA NRCS MO 09 01A and is associated with CFDA 10.912 (Environmental Quality Incentives Program). The notice also provides a point of contact for access issues: Louis Hendricks, State Administrative Officer, phone 573-876-9368.
