Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS VT CTA EQIP 17 03
This Vermont NRCS funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: USDA NRCS VT CTA EQIP 17 03) is a discretionary cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and support two local watershed planning groups: the Pike River - Lake Carmi Watersheds Planning Group and the Rock River Watersheds Planning Group. The main purpose is practical and implementation-focused: help NRCS and these groups identify, develop, and carry out multiple strategies that lead to more conservation practices being installed and used on farms throughout the watersheds. In other words, the grant is meant to build the organizational capacity and coordination needed to turn watershed planning into on-the-ground agricultural conservation action.
The selected applicant is expected to serve as the administrative and operational backbone for this effort. A central responsibility is providing overall administration for the staff who will do the day-to-day work tied to watershed planning and implementation support, including hiring, supervising, and handling payroll. Those staff members are intended to assist with the development and implementation of a Watershed Action Plan, which typically means coordinating partners, supporting meetings and planning processes, organizing information and priorities, and helping align conservation projects and outreach so that farms are more likely to adopt recommended practices. The opportunity notes that staff will generally be located in the applicant organizations office, highlighting that the awardee is expected to host and manage the personnel directly rather than simply subcontracting the entire function elsewhere.
The opportunity sits at the intersection of agriculture, environment, and natural resources (Funding Activity Category: Agriculture, Environment, Natural Resources) and is associated with CFDA numbers 10.902 and 10.912. It offers a maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $75,000 and anticipates making a single award, meaning one entity would be chosen to provide the described support across both watershed planning groups. The posting was created on June 23, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 24, 2017.
Eligible applicants include a broad set of public and nonprofit entities: state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that nonprofit category). The administering federal agency is the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Overall, the grant is essentially a capacity-building and coordination award intended to help organize and sustain watershed planning group functions while directly supporting the development and execution of a Watershed Action Plan that increases adoption of farm conservation practices within the targeted Vermont watersheds.Apply for USDA NRCS VT CTA EQIP 17 03
