The Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction (INSR) Program offers two grant tracks, Partnership and Infrastructure, for eligible projects that occur within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. NFWF partnered with The Commons to develop FieldDocs, a tool for consistent planning, tracking, and reporting of water quality improvement activities and associated nutrient and sediment load reductions from proposed grant projects.  Grant applicants are expected to use this platform to estimate water quality improvements. To learn more about FieldDocs, register for the webinar through the link below.
