Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FA 0301
The EARTH MRI funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 19 FA 0301) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. It is administered through the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) and supports work under the USGS Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI). The central purpose of Earth MRI is to strengthen the Nation's understanding of where critical minerals may be located by generating and improving foundational Earth science information. In practical terms, the program focuses on collecting and compiling geophysical, geologic, and topographic data in areas that show potential for critical mineral resources, helping decision-makers, researchers, and public agencies better evaluate mineral potential and related land-use considerations.
This opportunity is limited to state government applicants, reflecting the cooperative nature of the program and the role state geological surveys and other state entities often play in mapping and data collection. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, recipients should generally expect a more substantial level of federal involvement than a standard grant, such as coordination on technical approaches, deliverables, data standards, and project oversight consistent with USGS program goals. The funding activity category is Natural Resources and the associated CFDA number is 15.808.
The award has a ceiling of $125,000, with an expectation of one award under this announcement. The opportunity was created on August 5, 2019, with an original application closing date of August 18, 2019, indicating a relatively short submission window. Overall, the program is geared toward producing high-value public geoscience datasets in targeted areas, supporting Earth MRI's broader mission to improve national-scale mineral intelligence by filling key data gaps using modern mapping and surveying methods.Apply for USGS 19 FA 0301
