Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS NJ MULTI 22 NOFO0001188
The New Jersey NRCS Urban Conservation Project is a competitive federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), through the New Jersey State Office. Posted as Notice of Funding Opportunity (NFO) number USDA-NRCS-NJ-MULTI-22-NOFO0001188 under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 10.902, Soil and Water Conservation, the program is designed to strengthen conservation work in New Jersey by building partnerships that help NRCS deliver conservation more effectively, especially in urban or urban-adjacent contexts. The central idea is to leverage NRCS resources by funding partner-led efforts that either provide strategic conservation delivery assistance (hands-on support that helps plan, implement, or expand conservation activities) or develop tools, data, and other practical resources that improve NRCS capacity to support conservation outcomes.
Eligible applicants are limited to a defined set of organization types, including 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 that are not federally recognized tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, excluding institutions of higher education). Projects must be located in New Jersey, and the solicitation is explicitly framed around partnership proposals that align with NRCS conservation objectives and priorities described in the announcement.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, with a deadline of 11:59 pm Eastern Time on June 17, 2022. The notice also highlights a practical constraint: NRCS staff will not troubleshoot Grants.gov account or system issues, so applicants needing technical help were directed to Grants.gov Applicant Support (1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov). Questions to the agency were intended to be narrow and procedural, focused on clarifying the written NFO (for example, dates, page references, or resolving discrepancies), rather than broader discussions about eligibility interpretations or whether a particular project idea would be competitive.
Funding amounts for individual awards were expected to range from a federal share minimum (floor) of $5,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $25,000, and those limits refer to the total federal amount per agreement rather than being tied to a specific budget period. The opportunity anticipated making approximately 25 awards. The timeline provided in the NFO indicated that selections were expected by June 30, 2022, with awards anticipated to be executed by September 15, 2022, while noting these dates were estimates and could change.
Because this opportunity is federal financial assistance (a grant), the notice encourages applicants, especially those newer to federal grants, to complete the free "Grants 101" training hosted at cfo.gov/grants-training. The training covers the core compliance landscape that typically governs federal awards, including laws and regulations, assistance mechanisms, Uniform Guidance administrative requirements, cost principles, and risk management and single audit considerations. This emphasis signals that applicants should be prepared not only to propose conservation impacts, but also to manage federal grant requirements responsibly if selected.Apply for USDA NRCS NJ MULTI 22 NOFO0001188
