Opportunity Information: Apply for 69 2B29 16 NJ
The NRCS-NJ FY 2016 Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) opportunity is a competitive grant program run through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) New Jersey State Office. Its purpose is to stimulate the development, testing, and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, with an emphasis on practical projects that can be demonstrated and then replicated more broadly. Projects must be located in New Jersey, and awards are made through a statewide competition rather than a first-come, first-served process.
For FY 2016, NRCS anticipated about $214,000 total to support this program, with an expectation of making roughly four awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $75,000 per grant. Selected projects are intended to run between one and three years, which gives applicants flexibility to propose shorter pilot demonstrations or longer multi-season efforts that better capture conservation outcomes.
The funding notice identifies three specific New Jersey CIG focus categories for this cycle: (1) Historically Underserved Producers, (2) Protection of Water Quality, and (3) Demonstrating the Effectiveness of Public-Private Partnerships for Conservation. In practical terms, proposals are expected to align clearly with at least one of these areas, whether that means improving conservation access and outcomes for historically underserved farming communities, developing or validating methods that reduce nutrient and sediment losses and improve water resources, or building and evaluating partnership models that combine public and private efforts to get measurable conservation results.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible, including individuals, small businesses, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state governments, city or township governments, and public, state-controlled, and private institutions of higher education. The activity area is natural resources, and the assistance listing is CFDA 10.912. Overall, the program is designed to support on-the-ground innovation in conservation, especially projects that demonstrate new approaches, document results, and encourage adoption beyond the immediate grant-funded effort.
The notice lists an application submission deadline of 4:30 p.m. on May 13, 2016. Source data associated with the posting also shows an original closing date of June 24, 2016, but the program description emphasizes the May 13, 2016 deadline time, so applicants would be expected to follow the earlier, explicitly stated due date and time in the narrative instructions.Apply for 69 2B29 16 NJ
