Conservation Innovation Grants in Arkansas
Applications are due by June 8, 2022.
NRCS announced the availability of Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) funding to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies. Applications are accepted from eligible entities for projects carried out in Arkansas. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as market-based systems) to agricultural producers, into government technical manuals and guides, or to the private sector. CIG generally funds pilot projects, field demonstrations, and on-farm conservation research. A total of $300,000 is available for the Arkansas CIG competition in FY 2022, with a maximum single award of $75,000.
