Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS CT CCA 19 GEN0010217
The Cooperative Conservation Agreements opportunity is a USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) competitive funding announcement for Connecticut projects in Fiscal Year 2019. It is offered through the Commodity Credit Corporation and uses cooperative agreements as the funding instrument, meaning NRCS expects to be actively involved with recipients during project implementation rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The overall purpose is to leverage NRCS resources by partnering with outside organizations to tackle local natural resource concerns, promote collaboration across sectors, and strengthen conservation leadership at both the state and community level.
This announcement invites proposals for on-the-ground or programmatic conservation projects located specifically within the state of Connecticut. The program is positioned broadly within the natural resources category and references three CFDA numbers: 10.902, 10.912, and 10.931, indicating that funding may be tied to multiple NRCS program authorities or conservation-related funding streams. Projects may be structured to run from one to five years, allowing applicants to propose either shorter, focused efforts or longer, multi-year initiatives that build capacity, partnerships, and measurable conservation outcomes over time.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized tribal governments, state and local units of government, non-governmental organizations, and institutions of higher education. While the public listing shows "Others" as the eligible applicant category, the narrative clarifies the specific groups expected to apply. The competition is intended to be merit-based, with proposals reviewed for both eligibility and quality, and then ranked for funding consideration.
The application process emphasizes basic compliance and completeness as a first gate. NRCS will screen submissions to confirm they meet the requirements described in the notice; incomplete or noncompliant proposals are removed from consideration, and applicants are notified if their submissions are eliminated at that stage. For proposals that pass screening, NRCS scores them as they are received and places eligible applications onto a ranking list. That ranking list is then used throughout FY 2019 to inform awards as funding becomes available, which effectively creates a rolling evaluation approach once applications are in hand.
The deadline for submission is July 1, 2019, at 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. Proposals must be received by that time, not merely postmarked or in progress, so applicants would have needed to account for submission and system processing time. Final funding decisions are made by the NRCS State Conservationist for Connecticut, using the ranked list as a key input along with the availability of funds under the relevant CFDA program sources.
In terms of scale, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $500,000 and anticipates approximately eight awards. That suggests NRCS expected to support several projects of moderate size rather than a single large statewide effort, though the actual award amounts would depend on the quality of proposals, the scope of work, and available funding during the fiscal year. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of June 1, 2019, and the original closing date aligns with the July 1, 2019 deadline.Apply for USDA NRCS CT CCA 19 GEN0010217
