Conservation Innovative Grants: The Idaho Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is announcing availability of Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies. This notice announces the availability of up to $150,000 for support of this program in FY 2013. 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, eligibility criteria, and application instructions for CIG projects. 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. Pre-proposal selection will be based on recommendations from NRCS staff and the State Technical Committee. Both phases are described in this announcement, but only pre-proposals are being solicited at this time.
