Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS AR MULTI 21 NOFO0001046
The FY 2021 Arkansas Technical Assistance Projects opportunity is a competitive, discretionary funding solicitation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), specifically through the NRCS Arkansas State Office. The program is designed to build partnerships with organizations that can help deliver technical assistance and conservation-related services aligned with NRCS priorities in Arkansas. In practical terms, NRCS is looking for capable partners to help advance key natural resource conservation objectives and focus areas described in the full notice, with projects structured to provide on-the-ground or programmatic technical support that helps landowners, communities, or local conservation efforts meet NRCS conservation goals.
Funding is expected to total about $3,000,000 for FY 2021 across all awards, with an anticipated 45 awards made. Individual award amounts can be as small as $5,000, while the maximum for a single award is capped at $3,000,000. Awards will be made as cooperative agreements, which typically means NRCS expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination, shared planning, or oversight) rather than providing a simple pass-through grant. Projects can be proposed for terms ranging from one to three years, and applicants may submit proposals for either single-year or multi-year efforts, as long as they fit the program goals and requirements.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that operate in Arkansas or can deliver services there. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments (including special districts and independent school districts), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private colleges and universities, federally recognized tribal governments and certain tribal organizations, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, and other entities as clarified in the notice. The solicitation is explicitly oriented to proposals accepted from Arkansas, reflecting the state-based scope of the NRCS Arkansas State Office and the intent to fund work that directly benefits conservation priorities within the state.
The application and review process is structured around compliance and completeness screening before competitive evaluation. Applications must follow the notice instructions closely, because NRCS will screen submissions for completeness and adherence to the requirements described in the funding announcement. Any application deemed incomplete or noncompliant will be removed from consideration, and the applicant will be notified of the elimination. Importantly, NRCS also notes that the Arkansas State Conservationist retains the discretion not to fund any or all applications, even if proposals are submitted and reviewed, which is a standard safeguard in many federal funding competitions.
Key administrative details from the announcement include the funding opportunity title (FY 2021 Arkansas Technical Assistance Projects) and number (USDA NRCS AR MULTI 21 NOFO0001046). The activity category is Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA (now commonly referenced under Assistance Listings) number is 10.902. The opportunity was created on February 15, 2021, with an original closing date of April 20, 2021, and it is administered by the Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service. Overall, the opportunity is best viewed as a partnership-driven technical assistance funding stream for conservation work in Arkansas, with flexible project lengths, a wide range of eligible applicant types, and award sizes that can support anything from smaller targeted efforts to larger statewide or multi-year technical assistance initiatives.Apply for USDA NRCS AR MULTI 21 NOFO0001046
