This notice announces the availability of up to $200,000 for support of this program in FY 2011. These funds are in addition to up to $25 million dollars of funds that may be available through the national CIG grants program.Applications are requested from eligible governmental or non-governmental organizations or individuals for competitive consideration of grant awards for projects between 1 and 3 years in duration. Grants to eligible entities and individuals may not exceed a maximum of $75,000 each. This notice identifies the objectives for CIG projects, the eligibility criteria for projects, and provides the instructions needed to apply to CIG. Funds will be awarded through a two-phase, statewide competitive grants process which will include a pre-proposal for all applications, and a full application package only for competitively selected pre-proposal applicants, pursuant to notification by Idaho NRCS. Both phases are described in this announcement, but only pre-proposals are being solicited at this time.Each pre-proposal will be screened for completeness and compliance with the provisions of this notice.

Idaho NRCS will request a full application package only from those applicants selected in the pre-proposal process.
