Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS AL 18 02
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Alabama, offered a competitive cooperative agreement opportunity focused on delivering outreach and technical workshop activities statewide. The main purpose was to support NRCSs Conservation Technical Assistance (CTA) program by expanding the amount of practical, on-the-ground guidance available to private landowners and land users. In plain terms, the awardees would help NRCS reach more people and strengthen conservation outcomes by organizing and running workshops that explain conservation planning and the steps involved in contracting, designing, laying out, and installing conservation practices.
The funded work centered on end-to-end workshop delivery rather than only teaching content. Applicants were expected to prepare and host sessions that covered either outreach topics, technical topics, or both, depending on NRCS needs. The scope included the logistics and coordination required to make workshops happen: securing appropriate venues, arranging room setup and seating, and obtaining any equipment needed to run a professional training (such as projectors). It also included producing and distributing outreach materials like flyers and other advertisements to recruit attendees. On the day of each event, the performance expectations extended to standard meeting supplies and participant tracking, such as sign-in sheets and evaluation forms, along with providing refreshments. Another key requirement was lining up qualified speakers or trainers for each workshop session, indicating that the cooperative agreement was meant to produce high-quality instruction and credible technical information.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary grant opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, meaning NRCS likely anticipated active involvement or coordination with award recipients rather than a hands-off, standard grant relationship. The opportunity fell under agriculture, environment, and natural resources activities and was listed under CFDA 10.902. Eligibility was described as unrestricted for domestic applicants, effectively open to a broad range of U.S.-based entities (with the caveat that any additional eligibility clarifications could apply if stated elsewhere in the full notice).
Key dates and award parameters were clearly defined. The opportunity was posted June 20, 2018, with an application deadline of July 27, 2018. The anticipated project period ran from September 19, 2018 through September 30, 2019. The maximum award amount was $50,000, and NRCS anticipated making up to 20 awards, suggesting that the agency intended to support multiple providers, potentially to cover different regions of Alabama, different conservation topics, or a higher volume of events.
Overall, the opportunity was designed to increase conservation knowledge transfer in Alabama by paying partners to handle the planning, promotion, logistics, and delivery of outreach and technical training events that align with NRCS CTA goals and support private land stewardship and conservation practice implementation.Apply for USDA NRCS AL 18 02
