Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS NY CIG 23 NOFO0001260
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is offering Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) under its State Program for Federal fiscal year 2023 in New York. This funding opportunity is meant to spur the development, testing, and broader adoption of new and innovative conservation approaches and technologies. In practical terms, the program is designed to help move promising conservation ideas from concept to real-world use, especially when those ideas can improve environmental outcomes tied to agriculture and natural resource management.
For this New York competition, NRCS is making up to $500,000 available in total. Individual projects can run for one to three years, and the largest possible award for any single project is $500,000. NRCS expects to make about five awards, though the exact number can vary depending on the size of selected projects and the quality of applications received. The opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant and is associated with CFDA number 10.912, with activity areas that include agriculture, environment, and natural resources.
Eligibility is broadly open to non-federal entities and individuals, with one clear exclusion: federal agencies cannot apply. Applications must propose projects that will be carried out in the state of New York. While the notice references additional eligibility details in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NFO), the headline message is that most non-federal applicants are welcome, including organizations and individuals, as long as they meet the requirements laid out in the NFO.
Applications have to be submitted through Grants.gov, and the deadline is April 23, 2023 at 11:59 pm Eastern Time. The notice highlights that first-time Grants.gov users should plan ahead because registration and setup steps can take substantial time. If technical problems come up with Grants.gov itself, applicants are directed to Grants.gov Applicant Support (1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov). NRCS staff will not troubleshoot Grants.gov account issues. Questions about the content of the NFO, such as clarifying dates, locating sections, or resolving apparent inconsistencies in the document, should be directed to the federal awarding agency contact listed in Section G of the NFO. At the same time, the notice makes clear that NRCS will not answer questions about whether an applicant is eligible in a borderline case or weigh in on the strength or competitiveness of a proposed project idea.
NRCS anticipates announcing selections by June 1, 2023 and expects to finalize and execute awards by July 22, 2023, although both dates are estimates and may change. Applicants are also encouraged to consult the New York State CIG website for additional background on the program and state-specific context.
