Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS AL MULTI 19 GEN0010289
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Alabama State Office, and it is aimed at building partnerships that can help NRCS deliver conservation work more effectively across Alabama. The core purpose is to support projects that either enhance existing conservation delivery or accelerate progress on NRCS Alabama's key conservation objectives and priorities (referenced in the notice as being described in Section I.B). In practical terms, NRCS is looking for outside organizations that already work in conservation or can provide conservation-related services in Alabama and can help expand capacity, speed up implementation, or improve outcomes tied to the state's conservation goals.
The assistance is offered through cooperative agreements, which typically means NRCS expects to remain actively involved during the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. Projects can run from one to five years, allowing applicants to propose shorter targeted efforts or longer, more sustained initiatives depending on the conservation need and the partner's approach. The funding available for this announcement was anticipated to total about $1,488,400 for fiscal year 2019 awards, with the expectation that multiple projects would be funded. The notice lists an award ceiling of $50,000 and an expected 10 awards, indicating NRCS intended to spread funding across several recipients rather than concentrating it into one large award. As with federal opportunities generally, awards are contingent on congressional appropriations being available at the time the agreements are finalized.
Eligibility is broadly open. The opportunity states it will accept proposals from eligible entities including non-profits, governmental or nongovernmental organizations, and institutions of higher education, and it describes eligible applicants as "unrestricted" as long as they meet any conditions described in the full announcement. The emphasis is on entities that are capable of delivering conservation programs and services within Alabama, which suggests applicants should be able to demonstrate in-state reach, relevant expertise, and the capacity to implement on-the-ground conservation work or related technical, coordination, or outreach activities aligned with NRCS priorities.
Key logistics and deadlines are clearly defined. Applications had to be received by NRCS no later than 12:00 p.m. Central Time on Friday, July 19, 2019. Applicants were allowed to submit questions by email up to June 26, 2019, and NRCS planned to post a compiled questions-and-answers document on the Alabama NRCS website by July 1, 2019. The agency expected to make selection decisions by July 29, 2019, which indicates a relatively fast turnaround between the application deadline and award decisions.
Submission options included both physical and electronic delivery. Paper applications sent by express mail, overnight courier, or U.S. Postal Service were directed to USDA-NRCS at 3381 Skyway Drive, Auburn, AL 36830-6443. Electronic applications could be submitted through Grants.gov, and the notice also provided an email submission option to steve.musser@usda.gov with a copy to stacey.riggins@usda.gov. The opportunity is cataloged under Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS AL MULTI 19 GEN0010289 and is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity under natural resources-related federal assistance programs (with CFDA listings including 10.069, 10.072, 10.902, 10.912, 10.924, 10.931).Apply for USDA NRCS AL MULTI 19 GEN0010289
