Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS TX CIG 19 GEN0010221
The Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) opportunity is a competitive grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), in partnership with the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). For federal fiscal year 2019, this particular announcement is targeted specifically to projects carried out in Texas, and it is tied to CFDA number 10.912 under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). The main purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, meaning the program is looking for ideas that go beyond standard practices and help accelerate practical conservation solutions.
Funding for the Texas FY 2019 competition is listed as up to $375,000 total, with an expectation of about five awards. Individual awards are capped at $75,000 for a single project. Funded projects can run from one to three years, giving applicants flexibility to propose shorter pilot efforts or multi-year demonstrations, as long as the work stays within that window and is implemented in Texas.
Eligibility is broad. The announcement invites applications from all non-federal entities and individuals, with one clear exception: federal agencies are not eligible to apply. In other words, the competition is open to a wide range of applicants (for example, state or local entities, tribes, universities, nonprofits, private organizations, and individuals), so long as they are not federal agencies and they can carry out the proposed work in Texas.
The deadline is firm: applications must be received by midnight Central Daylight Time on July 31, 2019. Submission is primarily handled through Grants.gov, using its standard application environment called Workspace. Applicants are expected to submit electronically via Grants.gov, and then also email a PDF copy of the complete application to Claude.Ross@usda.gov. Both submissions must be received on time, and late submissions will not be reviewed or considered. The agency relies on system-generated timestamps from both Grants.gov and email to verify whether an application met the deadline, so applicants need to plan around potential last-minute technical delays.
Because Workspace requires advance setup, the notice strongly implies that applicants should start early. Grants.gov registration often involves multiple steps (especially for organizations), and delays in registration can prevent timely submission. Applicants who need accessibility accommodations or alternative communication formats (such as Braille, large print, or audio) are directed to contact the USDA TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD).
Key identifiers included in the announcement are the Funding Opportunity Number USDA-NRCS-TX-CIG-19-GEN0010221, the Opportunity Category listed as discretionary, the Funding Instrument type listed as a grant, and the Funding Activity Category identified as natural resources. These details matter when searching for the opportunity on Grants.gov or when referencing it in correspondence or internal tracking.Apply for USDA NRCS TX CIG 19 GEN0010221
