Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FA 0104
The Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announced a funding opportunity titled "Probabalistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) Maps" under Funding Opportunity Number USGS 19 FA 0104. The opportunity was published on July 22, 2019, with an original application closing date of August 1, 2019. It is categorized as an "Other" type of opportunity and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically signals that the USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The program falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.808. While the listing’s detailed project narrative is not included in the provided text and is instead referenced as being available in the "related documents" section, the title indicates the work is centered on Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment mapping. In practice, PSHA maps are used to represent the likelihood of different levels of earthquake-related ground shaking over specified time periods, supporting risk-informed decisions in areas like building codes, infrastructure planning, emergency management, and broader hazard mitigation. The cooperative agreement format suggests the funded work could involve close coordination with USGS scientists and alignment with USGS standards, data formats, and hazard modeling frameworks, but the exact scope, deliverables, and technical requirements would be defined in the related documents.
Funding appears to be small and targeted. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $48,000 and anticipates making a single award. That combination usually indicates a narrowly defined project or a discrete contribution to a broader USGS effort, such as producing or refining map products, performing a focused analysis, updating datasets, improving methods, or developing supporting documentation and workflows for PSHA mapping. Because only one award is expected, selection is likely to be competitive among a limited pool of applicants who can demonstrate relevant technical expertise in seismology, geophysics, hazard modeling, GIS/cartography, uncertainty quantification, and/or computational methods used in seismic hazard assessment.
Eligibility is described as "Others," with a note to consult the opportunity’s "Additional Information on Eligibility" field for clarification. That language generally means eligibility is not limited to the most common categories (like state governments or universities) and may include entities such as nonprofit organizations, private institutions, or other qualified organizations, but the specific eligible applicant types and any restrictions would be spelled out in the full announcement materials.
In short, this is a USGS research-and-development cooperative agreement opportunity intended to support the creation and/or improvement of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment maps, with up to $48,000 available for one selected project, and with key technical and administrative details provided in the related documents rather than in the brief synopsis.Apply for USGS 19 FA 0104
