Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS NM CTA 22 NOFO0001198
The New Mexico Conservation Technical Assistance for Outreach and Education opportunity is a competitive federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), through the New Mexico State Office. It falls under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 10.902, Soil and Water Conservation, and is designed to strengthen conservation work in New Mexico by supporting partners who can expand public awareness and on-the-ground adoption of conservation practices. The core emphasis is education and outreach rather than research, with NRCS looking to fund projects that help more people understand and implement conservation in agricultural and working lands contexts across the state.
The purpose of the funding is to partner with organizations that can deliver practical conservation outreach, such as workshops, trainings, and related educational efforts. NRCS specifically highlights audiences and communities that are central to land and water stewardship in New Mexico, including the agricultural community, private landowners, conservation organizations, cooperating agencies, acequias, and land grants. Projects must be based in New Mexico and clearly focused on conservation outcomes through technical assistance, outreach, and education. Research proposals are explicitly not allowed under this announcement, meaning proposals centered on experiments, studies, or pure data collection without an outreach and implementation component would not be considered.
Eligible applicants include Federally recognized Tribal governments and Tribal organizations, state governments, local governments (including counties and cities or townships), nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. NRCS indicates awards will be made for projects that are one year in duration, and applications are treated as single-year proposals under this notice. Submissions are screened first for completeness and compliance with the notice requirements, and incomplete or noncompliant applications are removed from consideration. NRCS also notes that the New Mexico State Conservationist retains discretion not to fund any or all applications, even if submissions are otherwise eligible.
Applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on May 23, 2022. Applicants experiencing technical problems with the Grants.gov system are directed to Grants.gov Applicant Support (rather than NRCS staff), while questions about the content of the funding notice itself are routed to the federal awarding agency contact listed in the notice (with the caveat that they will not provide feedback on eligibility judgments for specific applicants or comment on the strengths of a particular proposal idea). NRCS anticipated selection decisions by June 17, 2022, with awards expected to be executed by August 1, 2022, though the notice emphasizes these dates are estimates and could change.
Funding amounts for individual awards were expected to range from a federal share of $10,000 to $20,000 per agreement, which functions as the minimum (floor) and maximum (ceiling) award size for this opportunity. The notice also indicates an expectation of about five awards. Finally, NRCS frames this opportunity as federal financial assistance and points applicants to free "Grants 101" training hosted at cfo.gov, covering key topics like governing rules and guidance, assistance mechanisms, administrative requirements under Uniform Guidance, cost principles, and risk management and single audit concepts, which can be useful for applicants that are newer to managing federal grant funds.Apply for USDA NRCS NM CTA 22 NOFO0001198
