Opportunity Title:
Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) Classic for Federal fiscal year (FY) 2024
Funder/Agency:
Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
Opportunity Number:
USDA-NRCS-NHQ-RCPP-24-NOFO0001354
Description:
The RCPP promotes the coordination of NRCS conservation activities with partners that offer value-added contributions to expand our ability to address on-farm, watershed, and regional natural resource concerns. Through the RCPP, NRCS seeks to co-invest with partners to implement projects that provide solutions to conservation challenges thereby measurably improving the resource concerns they seek to address. RCPP promotes
collaboration with partners, stakeholders, and various communities, which is paramount to achieving equity in NRCS programs and services.
Using guidance contained in this notice, partners propose projects that generate conservation benefits by addressing specific natural resource concerns in a state or multistate area by addressing one or more priority resource concerns within an NRCS designated critical conservation area (CCA). NRCS and partners collaborate to design, promote, and implement RCPP projects on agricultural and nonindustrial private forest land. Through RCPP, NRCS may provide both financial assistance (FA) and technical assistance (TA) funds to project partners and agricultural producers for implementing projects. RCPP proposals are evaluated through a competitive proposal process based on three criteria: impact, partner contributions, and partnership and management.
