Conservation Innovation Grants
Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) is a voluntary program intended to
stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and
technologies while leveraging federal investment in environmental enhancement
and protection, in conjunction with agricultural production. Under CIG,
Environmental Quality Incentives Program funds are used to award competitive
grants to non-federal governmental or non-governmental organizations, Tribes, or
individuals. CIG enables NRCS to work with other public and private entities to
accelerate technology transfer and adoption of promising technologies and
approaches to address some of the nation's most pressing natural resource
concerns. CIG will benefit agricultural producers by providing more options for
environmental enhancement and compliance with federal, state, and local
regulations. NRCS administers CIG.
NOTE: NRCS in Nebraska will not be offering these
grants in FY 2007. National Conservation Innovation Grants are available
in FY 2007. Apply at www.grants.gov

September 2005, Nebraska NRCS signed project
agreements with five of the eleven applicants for Conservation
Innovation Grants (CIG). $250,000 was set aside from the Environmental
Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) for the State Component of Conservation
Innovation Grants. Nebraska was one of twelve states and the Pacific
Basin area in fiscal year 2005 to serve as a pilot. This program
option was continued in 2006. See recipient information below. |
