Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS MULTI WV 20 NOFO0001017
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in West Virginia is offering a competitive funding opportunity to support cooperative agreements that strengthen on-the-ground conservation work across the state. The program is designed to leverage NRCS resources by building partnerships that can help address natural resource concerns in West Virginia, with an emphasis on practical conservation implementation rather than academic or experimental research. All proposed work must take place entirely within West Virginia, and projects are expected to directly support NRCS conservation objectives and priorities, including conservation planning and technical assistance that help landowners and communities carry out conservation practices.
Funding is available through cooperative agreements, which typically means the NRCS anticipates substantial involvement in the funded projects rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with limited federal participation. Projects can be proposed for multi-year periods lasting between two and five years. Research proposals are explicitly not allowed under this announcement, so applicants are expected to focus on applied assistance, planning, and capacity-building activities that contribute to measurable conservation outcomes.
The total amount available under the announcement is capped at 1,000,000 dollars across all awards, regardless of how many projects are selected or how long each project runs. The announcement lists an award ceiling of 450,000 dollars per award and indicates an expectation of about five awards, suggesting the NRCS plans to distribute funds across multiple partners rather than making a single large award.
A wide range of applicants are eligible. Eligible entities include individuals; city or township governments; county governments; state governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments; and nonprofit organizations both with and without IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). This broad eligibility is intended to encourage partnerships among local governments, nonprofits, educational institutions, and tribal entities that have the capacity to deliver technical assistance and help implement conservation priorities.
Key dates for the opportunity include an application deadline of July 8, 2020, with proposals due by 11:59 pm Eastern Time. The NRCS planned to notify applicants of selection decisions by August 1, 2020, with awards expected to be made on or around September 15, 2020. Applications were to be submitted through Grants.gov, and applicants experiencing technical problems with the Grants.gov system were directed to contact Grants.gov Applicant Support (1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov), noting that NRCS staff would not provide support for Grants.gov account issues.
