Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS ID CRP 22 NOFO0001204
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is offering funding through a discretionary Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled "Conservation Reserve Program Technical Assistance Projects - Idaho" (NOFO number USDA-NRCS-ID-CRP-22-NOFO0001204). The opportunity is tied to the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), listed under Assistance Listing/CFDA 10.069. The main purpose is to support conservation technical assistance that helps stimulate the development, improvement, and adoption of conservation approaches and technologies. In practical terms, NRCS is looking to fund projects that strengthen conservation planning and implementation related to CRP work in Idaho, using technical support as the vehicle to get more conservation practices on the ground and working effectively.
This competition is specifically for projects carried out in the state of Idaho, and NRCS set aside up to $1,500,000 total for the Idaho CRP competition in fiscal year 2022. Individual awards are expected to range from a federal share of $200,000 (the funding floor) up to $500,000 (the funding ceiling), and the maximum allowed for any single award in this round is $500,000. NRCS anticipates making about three awards, which aligns with the total funds available and the stated award size limits. Projects can run from one to three years, giving applicants flexibility to propose either shorter, targeted efforts or multi-year technical assistance initiatives that need more time to deliver results.
Eligibility is broad and intentionally inclusive, with the key restriction being that federal agencies cannot apply. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education); individuals; and for-profit organizations, including small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests NRCS wants to attract a mix of partners that can deliver conservation technical assistance in different ways, from local governments and conservation districts to nonprofits, tribes, consultants, and private-sector providers with relevant expertise.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, with a stated deadline of 11:59 pm Eastern Time on June 3, 2022 (the source text also notes an "OriginalClosingDate" of June 1, 2022, but the narrative deadline repeatedly emphasizes June 3 at 11:59 pm ET). NRCS makes it clear that Grants.gov account or system issues must be handled through Grants.gov Applicant Support (phone and email are provided), and that NRCS staff will not assist with Grants.gov account troubleshooting. Questions directed to the agency are supposed to be limited to clarifying information contained in the NOFO itself (for example, dates, page references, or discrepancies), and the agency notes it will not respond to questions about whether an applicant is eligible or whether a particular project idea is likely to be competitive.
NRCS expected to make selection decisions around June 20, 2022, and to execute awards by September 28, 2022, while also noting these are estimates and could change. The funding is issued as federal financial assistance (not a procurement contract), and the notice encourages applicants, especially those unfamiliar with federal assistance rules, to take the free Grants 101 training available through the CFO.gov grants training site. That training covers the core compliance areas that tend to matter in federal assistance awards, including governing laws and guidance, administrative requirements under the Uniform Guidance, cost principles, and risk management and single audit considerations.Apply for USDA NRCS ID CRP 22 NOFO0001204
