Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS PR CPC 22 NOFO0001207
The Caribbean Partners for Conservation (CPC) FY 2022 opportunity is a competitive USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) funding announcement for conservation projects located in the Caribbean Area, specifically Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The program is designed to leverage NRCS resources by partnering with local and regional organizations to address priority natural resource concerns, strengthen collaboration across sectors, and build conservation leadership at the state and community level. A major emphasis is placed on practical, on-the-ground conservation work, and proposals that directly support and complement the day-to-day needs of NRCS Field Offices in the Caribbean are especially encouraged.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, meaning the NRCS expects to have an active role in the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. For FY 2022, NRCS anticipated up to $500,000 total available under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $200,000 per project and an expectation of around four awards. Projects are expected to run for one to three years. The notice also allows organizations with existing agreements in the Caribbean Area to request additional funding under this opportunity, which can help scale up or extend work that is already underway and aligned with the program goals.
Eligible applicants cover a broad range of public and nonprofit entities. This includes state, county, and city or township governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, as specified in the listing). Applications must propose work focused on the conservation issues identified in the notice (referenced as Section A(2)), and the program explicitly excludes research proposals. In other words, proposals centered on academic or experimental research without a clear, near-term on-the-ground implementation component are not eligible for consideration.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the deadline was May 31, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The notice highlights that applications are screened first for completeness and compliance with the stated requirements; incomplete or noncompliant submissions are removed from competition and the applicant is notified. For Grants.gov technical problems, applicants were directed to Grants.gov Applicant Support (rather than NRCS staff), while questions about the content of the funding notice were limited to clarifications about the notice itself (such as dates, page references, or resolving inconsistencies). The agency noted it would not respond to questions about whether an organization is eligible or whether a specific project idea is strong enough to fund.
Finally, the timeline provided in the notice indicated NRCS anticipated making selections by June 30, 2022, with awards expected to be executed by September 30, 2022, though those dates were presented as estimates subject to change. Key identifiers for the opportunity include the title "Caribbean Partners for Conservation CPC FY 2022 for Program Funding Caribbean Area," Funding Opportunity Number "USDA NRCS PR CPC 22 NOFO0001207," CFDA number 10.902, and activity categories spanning agriculture, environment, and natural resources.Apply for USDA NRCS PR CPC 22 NOFO0001207
