Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS MT MULTI 19 GEN0010228
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Montana State Office announced a Fiscal Year 2019 funding opportunity titled "Montana Conservation Agreement for Implementing Key Conservation Objectives." The program is designed to use cooperative agreements to stretch NRCS capacity by leveraging partner resources, tackling locally identified natural resource concerns, strengthening collaboration across organizations, and building conservation leadership at the state and community level. Projects must be based in Montana and must align with the priority needs and objectives laid out in the Full Announcement referenced in the opportunity materials.
A central theme of the opportunity is practical, on-the-ground delivery. NRCS explicitly encourages collaborative projects that can provide direct support to Montana NRCS Field Offices, meaning proposals that help implement conservation work in the field, assist producers and communities, or otherwise increase the reach and effectiveness of NRCS programs. At the same time, NRCS makes it clear that research-focused proposals are not allowed and will not be reviewed, so applicants are expected to propose implementation and delivery work rather than studies or experiments.
Funding for the program was anticipated to be up to $1,200,000 total for Federal Fiscal Year 2019. The opportunity is competitive and discretionary, with NRCS expecting to make one award. Awards may support multi-year projects, with project periods allowed for up to five years, which gives applicants room to plan phased implementation, sustained partner coordination, and longer-term delivery and support activities.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, reflecting NRCS's intent to maintain substantial involvement with the selected recipient during project execution. The activity areas are broadly categorized under agriculture, environment, and natural resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 10.902.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of public, nonprofit, educational, tribal, and private entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments (including special districts); federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category); and small businesses. Applicants were instructed to confirm detailed eligibility and any additional conditions in Section C(1) of the Full Announcement.
Applications were due by 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time on June 30, 2019. Applicants could submit through Grants.gov or by email, sending proposals to Kyle.Tackett@usda.gov and copying Charissa.Williams@usda.gov. The opportunity was posted by the Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, with a creation date of May 23, 2019, and an original closing date of June 30, 2019. For specifics on required project focus areas, evaluation criteria, and any formatting or submission requirements, applicants were directed to rely on the Full Announcement in the related documents.Apply for USDA NRCS MT MULTI 19 GEN0010228
