Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS MS 19 CTA GEN0010245
The Conservation Technical Assistance and Farm Bill Programs opportunity was a FY 2019 discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Mississippi State Office. The main purpose was to partner with organizations and other eligible applicants to strengthen conservation work in Mississippi by increasing public awareness and practical implementation of Farm Bill conservation activities. Rather than funding scientific studies, NRCS was looking for projects that directly support conservation adoption through outreach, education, training, and coordination that help farmers, private landowners, conservation groups, partner agencies, and the general public better understand and use NRCS and Farm Bill conservation tools.
A key emphasis of the announcement was on Mississippi-based, Farm Bill-focused projects that lead to real-world conservation outcomes. NRCS specifically encouraged collaborative efforts that provide on-the-ground support to Mississippi NRCS field offices, which suggests projects that complement local service delivery, expand technical assistance capacity, improve outreach to eligible producers, or help landowners navigate conservation programs. At the same time, the announcement clearly stated that research proposals would not be accepted, meaning applicants needed to propose implementation, education, or technical assistance activities rather than experiments, data-collection studies, or academic research.
Funding was offered through cooperative agreements, reflecting that NRCS expected substantial involvement and coordination during the project period rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The total amount available under the announcement was $3,000,000, with an anticipated number of about 15 awards and an award ceiling of $250,000 per award. Projects could be proposed for terms ranging from one to five years, allowing either short, targeted efforts (like workshops and trainings) or longer multi-year initiatives that build sustained outreach and field support.
Eligibility was broad. Applications were accepted from individuals, nonprofits, governmental and nongovernmental organizations, federally recognized Tribal organizations, and institutions of higher education, with eligibility described as essentially unrestricted within the categories listed in the notice. Applicants were allowed to submit more than one application, and it was possible to receive more than one award. NRCS also noted that proposals would be screened for completeness and compliance; incomplete or noncompliant submissions would be removed from consideration. The Mississippi State Conservationist retained the discretion not to fund some or all applications, even if proposals were submitted.
The announcement tied to multiple CFDA program areas: 10.902, 10.912, 10.924, and 10.931, and it was categorized under natural resources. The timeline was clearly defined: questions were due by June 24, 2019, answers were posted by July 1, 2019, and applications were due July 8, 2019. Selection notifications were expected by August 5, 2019, with awards anticipated on or about September 1, 2019. Overall, the opportunity was designed to expand conservation outreach and technical assistance capacity in Mississippi, focusing on practical Farm Bill conservation delivery and partner-driven support that helps NRCS reach producers and landowners more effectively.Apply for USDA NRCS MS 19 CTA GEN0010245
