Conservation Innovation Grants
Conservation Innovation Grants
Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) is a voluntary program intended to
stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and
technologies while leveraging Federal investment in environmental enhancement
and protection, in conjunction with agricultural production. Under CIG,
Environmental Quality Incentives Program funds are used to award competitive
grants to non-Federal governmental or non-governmental organizations, Tribes, or
individuals.
CIG enables NRCS to work with other public and private entities to accelerate
technology transfer and adoption of promising technologies and approaches to
address some of the Nation's most pressing natural resource concerns. CIG will
benefit agricultural producers by providing more options for environmental
enhancement and compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations. NRCS
administers CIG.
