Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS MA CTA 19 GEN0010275
The Massachusetts Conservation Planning and Implementation Support Partnership Fiscal Year 2019 Announcement for Funding is a discretionary federal funding opportunity released by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) through its Massachusetts State Office. The program is designed to build partnerships with organizations that can deliver direct, on-the-ground technical assistance to help plan and carry out conservation practices across Massachusetts. The emphasis is practical implementation and field-based support that advances NRCS conservation objectives in the state, rather than academic or experimental work. Research proposals are explicitly not eligible under this announcement.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements under CFDA 10.902 (Natural Resources-related assistance). For FY 2019, NRCS Massachusetts anticipated up to $800,000 total available for awards, depending on final funding availability at the time awards are made. NRCS expected to make multiple awards (listed as about five), with individual projects typically running between one and three years. The notice also allows multi-year applications, as long as the applicant meets eligibility requirements and follows the program rules.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include entities actively delivering conservation programs and services in Massachusetts. Examples specifically mentioned include nonprofit organizations, governmental and non-governmental organizations, institutions of higher education, and Federally recognized Indian Tribal Organizations. While eligibility is described as relatively open, proposals still need to align with the announcement priorities and comply with the detailed instructions in the full notice to remain under consideration.
The announcement makes it clear that applications will be competitively reviewed and screened first for completeness and compliance. Proposals that are missing required elements or do not follow the solicitation requirements can be eliminated before scoring, and applicants will be notified if their submission is removed from consideration for those reasons. It also notes that the Massachusetts State Conservationist retains the discretion to fund all, some, or none of the applications received, even if they are otherwise eligible, which is a standard federal safeguard tied to priorities, quality, and funding constraints.
The central purpose of the partnership is to increase capacity for conservation planning and implementation, meaning partners are expected to provide hands-on technical services that support landowners and conservation outcomes throughout the state. The specific conservation priorities and objectives are referenced as being laid out in Section A of the announcement, and proposal evaluation criteria and performance metrics are referenced as being in Section E. In other words, applicants are expected to build their work plans around the stated Massachusetts NRCS priorities and to describe measurable outputs and outcomes that match the evaluation framework NRCS will use to rank proposals.
Key administrative details included in the opportunity listing are the funding opportunity number (USDA-NRCS-MA-CTA-19-GEN0010275), the posting date (June 1, 2019), and the original application deadline (July 16, 2019). Additional background about NRCS activities in Massachusetts is provided through the agency website referenced in the notice.Apply for USDA NRCS MA CTA 19 GEN0010275
