Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS EQIP CTA MO 17 01
The Application for CTA and EQIP Grants Announcement for FY-2017 Program Funding is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Missouri State Office. Through this announcement, NRCS is looking to partner with organizations that can help advance natural resource conservation across Missouri by increasing public awareness and on-the-ground participation in Farm Bill conservation activities. The core idea is to support outreach and education efforts that translate federal conservation programs into practical knowledge and real adoption by farmers, private landowners, conservation groups, partner agencies, and the broader public.
Funding is offered through grants and cooperative agreements, reflecting that NRCS may either provide financial support with standard grant oversight or work more collaboratively with selected recipients under a cooperative agreement structure. The opportunity is tied to NRCS program areas commonly associated with technical and financial assistance for conservation, specifically Conservation Technical Assistance (CTA) and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). The relevant CFDA program numbers listed are 10.902 and 10.912. While the eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," applicants were expected to consult the announcement's eligibility clarification language to confirm whether their organization type and project approach qualified.
The practical focus of funded projects is outreach, training, and education that strengthens conservation implementation. Examples of activities emphasized in the description include organizing conservation outreach workshops, hosting conferences, and delivering training sessions. These efforts are intended to help Missouri's agricultural and land stewardship communities better understand conservation practices, available NRCS programs, and how to participate effectively. In other words, the funding is less about purchasing equipment or building infrastructure and more about building knowledge, capacity, and engagement so that conservation practices are understood, prioritized, and adopted.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity title and identifier, which applicants would have used to locate and reference the announcement: "Application for CTA and EQIP Grants Announcement for FY-2017 Program Funding" (Funding Opportunity Number: USDA NRCS EQIP CTA MO 17 01).

NRCS anticipated making up to 8 awards, with an award ceiling of $200,000 per award. Overall, the announcement signals an emphasis on leveraging partnerships to reach producers and landowners at scale, using organized education and outreach as a way to improve participation in Farm Bill conservation programs and, ultimately, conservation outcomes statewide.Apply for USDA NRCS EQIP CTA MO 17 01
