Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS ND MULTI 22 NOFO0001126
The Conservation Collaboration Cooperative Agreements FY 2022 opportunity for North Dakota is a competitive funding announcement from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) designed to support locally driven conservation work through partnership-based projects. The core purpose is to leverage NRCS resources alongside state, local, tribal, nonprofit, and academic partners to address natural resource concerns in North Dakota, strengthen collaboration among conservation stakeholders, and build conservation leadership at both the state and community level. The funding is offered as cooperative agreements, which typically means NRCS expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordinating with awardees on implementation, technical direction, or shared outcomes), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement.
Projects must be located in North Dakota and are expected to run between 1 and 4 years. NRCS indicates that proposals will be reviewed competitively, and applicants can submit more than one application as long as each submission is for a different project. An organization can also receive more than one award if multiple proposals are selected. The announcement emphasizes that submissions will first be screened for completeness and compliance with the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NFO). Applications that are incomplete or do not follow the required instructions can be removed from consideration without being scored, and applicants will be notified if their proposal is eliminated for these reasons.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible, reflecting NRCS's emphasis on cross-sector conservation collaboration. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). The program sits within environment and natural resources activity areas and is associated with CFDA numbers 10.069, 10.902, 10.912, and 10.924, which signal the broader catalog areas under which NRCS conservation assistance and related partnership programs are commonly organized.
From a funding perspective, the listed award ceiling is up to $1,000,000, and NRCS anticipates making roughly 15 awards under this announcement. While the posting does not specify a minimum award size in the excerpt provided, the ceiling and expected number of awards suggest the program can support substantial multi-year efforts when the project scope and partnerships justify it. Because this is a cooperative agreement program, prospective applicants generally benefit from designing projects with clear roles for NRCS and partners, concrete conservation outcomes, and a credible plan for coordinating across organizations and communities.
The application process runs through Grants.gov, and the deadline specified is 11:59 pm Eastern Time on March 22, 2022. The announcement draws a clear line between technical submission issues and program questions: Grants.gov account or submission problems must go to Grants.gov Applicant Support (1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov), and NRCS staff will not troubleshoot Grants.gov registration or system issues. Content-related questions about the NFO itself are directed to the federal awarding agency contact listed in Section G of the NFO, with the caution that NRCS will only address questions tied to the published requirements (such as dates, page references, or resolving inconsistencies). They will not provide feedback on whether a specific applicant is eligible in a borderline situation or whether a particular project idea is likely to be competitive.
NRCS provided an estimated review and award timeline to help applicants plan. The agency anticipated making selections by May 2, 2022 and expected to execute awards by September 1, 2022, with the reminder that these dates are projections and could change. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as NRCS's North Dakota-focused, partnership-driven funding vehicle for multi-year conservation projects that address local resource priorities while strengthening cooperative conservation capacity across communities and institutions.Apply for USDA NRCS ND MULTI 22 NOFO0001126
