Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS TN CTA 19 GEN0010212
The Tennessee NRCS Urban Conservation Project is a competitive grant opportunity offered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to support partnerships that advance natural resource conservation priorities in Tennessee, with an emphasis on helping implement the conservation objectives laid out in the solicitation. The program is designed to connect NRCS with organizations that share similar conservation goals and can help deliver on-the-ground outcomes through short, focused projects.
Funding is available for projects located within the state of Tennessee, and NRCS anticipated awarding a total of about $80,000 in federal fiscal year 2019 under this announcement. Individual awards were expected to be relatively small, with an award ceiling of $8,000 per project and an estimated 10 awards overall. Projects are intended to run for one year, so applicants are expected to propose work plans that can be completed within a single-year period and that clearly support the stated conservation priorities.
Eligible applicants include local Conservation Districts, nonprofit organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and institutions of higher education. The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant, and it falls under the agriculture, environment, and natural resources funding activity areas, with CFDA number 10.902. Because this is a competitive solicitation, applications are reviewed and screened first for basic completeness and compliance with the notice requirements, and any submission that is incomplete or does not follow the instructions can be removed from consideration. The notice also makes clear that the Tennessee State Conservationist retains the discretion not to fund some or all proposals, even if they are eligible.
Applications were accepted through two submission routes: electronically through Grants.gov (following the instructions at www.grants.gov/apply) or by email. Email submissions were directed to Darvis.Jordan@usda.gov. The deadline for this specific cycle was Tuesday, July 16, 2019, and applications had to be received by NRCS before 12:00 p.m. Eastern time; late applications were not considered.
