Opportunity Summary:
The New York Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) opportunity is a competitive grant program offered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in New York to spur new and better ways of addressing natural resource and agricultural conservation challenges. The purpose is to stimulate the development, testing, and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, with funded work taking place entirely within New York State. The funding is tied to CFDA 10.912, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), which generally focuses on helping improve environmental outcomes on working lands through practical, results-oriented conservation practices.
For FY 2012, New York NRCS expected to make about $250,000 available in total and anticipated making around four awards. Individual awards were expected to range from $10,000 (award floor) up to $75,000 (award ceiling), with projects lasting between one and three years. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project costs in accordance with the program rules described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of applicants, such as individuals; small businesses; private and public institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that category); and multiple levels of government including city/township, county, state, and federally recognized tribal governments. This structure is designed to encourage participation from a wide range of organizations capable of developing and demonstrating conservation innovations, including partnerships between researchers, practitioners, producers, and public entities.
A key feature of this opportunity is its two-phase application process. First, applicants submit a pre-proposal, which NRCS reviews to determine which concepts are most promising and aligned with program priorities. Only applicants whose pre-proposals are selected are invited to submit a full proposal in the second phase. This approach is intended to reduce the burden on applicants by limiting full proposal development to those most likely to be competitive, while allowing NRCS to screen for fit and potential impact early in the process.
The posting date for the opportunity was May 11, 2012, under Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS NY 12 001. The pre-proposal deadline was June 1, 2012, and the full proposal deadline (and overall closing date) was July 20, 2012. The opportunity is categorized under agriculture, environment, and natural resources, and it uses a grant as the funding instrument type. Applicants needing help accessing the complete announcement were directed to contact Kimberley Glenn, Management Program Analyst and CIG Administrative Contact, at 315-477-6518, and additional details were available through the NY NRCS CIG information link referenced in the announcement.
