Conservation Innovation Grants

APPLICATIONS DUE DATE: Applications must be received by 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on July 16 2019.

SUBMISSIONS: Applications can be submitted electronically through by emailing a PDF of the complete application to elizabeth.with@co.usda.gov.  Submissions must be received by the time and date due. Late submissions will not be reviewed or considered.  The agency will rely on system generated date and time receipt documentation for submission made both via grants.gov and e-mail to determine whether applications meet the submission deadline. Click here for more on how to submit an application.

The grants.gov electronic submission interface is called Workspace. Workspace is the standard way for organizations or individuals to apply for federal grants in grants.gov. Workspace allows an applicant to access and edit different forms within an application simultaneously. In addition, the forms may be filled out online or as a PDF.  An overview of Workspace can be viewed at grants.gov (WEBINAR - Getting Started with Workspace: Become a Workspace Wizard).
Please allow extra time to register in Workspace because there are several preliminary registration steps before an applicant can submit the application. To register, go to
www.grants.gov, click on “Applicants”, then click on “Get Registered.” If you have completed a prior grants.gov application, you may already have completed the registration process.
