Summary of Collection: NRCS OPD is 

administrating the Equity in 

Conservation Outreach cooperative

pursue careers in agriculture, natural 

resources, and related sciences. After 

the cooperative agreements are awarded, 

the cooperators will be required to 

provide performance reports to provide 

information as specified in the general 

terms and conditions in the executed 

cooperative agreement. Recipients will 

report semi-annually. In order to 

evaluate the impact and effectiveness of 

the agreement via standardized metrics, 

NRCS OPD is offering a performance 

reporting template as a supplement to 

the required performance report. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

approved cooperators will report the 

equity information using the report 

template to NRCS OPD on the 

underserved producers and 

communities who receive conservation 

assistance and students who are 

interested to pursue agriculture, natural 

resources and related sciences careers. 

Failure in not providing the report will 

result in not getting the effectiveness of 

the outreach, education and technical 

assistance.
