Description
The purpose of CIG is 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. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as market-based systems) into NRCS technical manuals or guides, or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects. Instead, it is a vehicle to stimulate the development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have been studied sufficiently to indicate a likelihood of success and that are candidates for eventual technology transfer. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations.NRCS Hawaii State Office is offering a state component of the Conservation Innovation Conservation Grant opportunity for the Pacific Islands Area (including Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands). NRCS State of Hawaii Office announces the availability of up to $350,000 for Natural Resources Concerns Component and Technology Component.

Proposals must be received in the NRCS Hawaii State Office by April 5, 2006, 4:00 pm Hawaii Standard Time (HST).
