Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS MULTI STATE CENTRAL 19 01
The Conservation Collaboration Grants or Agreements Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 funding announcement (USDA NRCS MULTI STATE CENTRAL 19 01) is a discretionary, five-state funding opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). It supports multi-year conservation work delivered through grants and cooperative agreements, with projects expected to run between 1 and 3 years. The overall intent is to combine and leverage NRCS resources with partner capacity to deliver practical, on-the-ground outcomes across agricultural landscapes in Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Kansas.
The program focuses on improving the environmental and economic performance of working agricultural lands, meaning it is geared toward conservation that fits into active farming and ranching systems rather than taking land out of production. Key priorities include strengthening soil health (for example, practices that improve soil structure, organic matter, and resilience), improving water quality (such as reducing nutrient and sediment losses to waterways), and providing habitat for local wildlife species of concern. In addition to these natural resource outcomes, the announcement also highlights community-facing benefits: helping communities and groups build and strengthen local food projects that can increase access to healthy food while creating or supporting local economic opportunities.
Funding is allocated across the five participating states, with estimated amounts available of approximately $4.5 million for Minnesota, $2.5 million for Nebraska, $6.0 million for North Dakota, $4.8 million for South Dakota, and $2.0 million for Kansas. Individual awards have an award ceiling of $2,000,000, and the opportunity anticipated around 58 awards in total, indicating NRCS expected to fund a mix of projects rather than only a few large awards.
Eligible applicants include a broad range of public-sector and education entities: state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The funding activity category is listed under environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development, reflecting that projects may include applied conservation planning, demonstration, monitoring, outreach, technical assistance, and other implementation-support activities depending on the specific proposal and agreement structure.
Administratively, the announcement was created on January 8, 2019, with an original application deadline of February 20, 2019 at 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. The opportunity is tied to multiple CFDA numbers (10.069, 10.902, 10.912, 10.924, 10.931), which signals that projects may align with several NRCS assistance and conservation program authorities depending on the work being proposed and how NRCS structures the award.Apply for USDA NRCS MULTI STATE CENTRAL 19 01
