Grant Description

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announces the availability of up to $4 million through the Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative (CCPI), under authorities provided by the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act of 1935. The CCPI offers two components in fiscal year 2006: the Conservation Priorities component and the Rapid Watershed Assessment component. The Conservation Priorities component offers a mechanism to foster partnerships that focus technical and financial resources on conservation priorities in watersheds (8-digit HUC or smaller) or airsheds of special significance. The Rapid Watershed Assessment component provides funding for locally-led resource assessment and planning on an 8-digit HUC watershed basis. The CCPI is administered in two phases. First, applicants apply through NRCS State Conservationists for planning funds. For each component, State Conservationists may forward up to two proposals to NRCS National Headquarters for evaluation and award consideration. Following successful completion of the planning phase, implementation may begin using funding secured or provided by partners. CCPI projects are expected to secure implementation funds from a wide range of potential partners from local, State, and Federal governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations that have a history of working with agricultural producers. Potential implementation funding sources must be identified in the final plan. $2 million is available for each component. CCPI awards will be selected through a nationwide competition. Applications are requested from State and local agencies, Indian tribes, and non-governmental organizations that have a history of working with agricultural producers.
