Opportunity Summary:
The 2017 Earthquake Hazards External Grants Program is a competitive, discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Department of the Interior. Through its Earthquake Hazards Program (EHP), USGS uses this annual announcement to fund external research that strengthens the nation s understanding of earthquakes and reduces earthquake risk. The supported work is focused on core earthquake science and public safety outcomes, including earthquake hazards, the underlying physics that control how earthquakes start and rupture, patterns and processes that govern when and where earthquakes occur, and research that informs earthquake safety policy. The legal authority for this program is the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977, which established a federal role in advancing earthquake hazard reduction through research and related activities.
Administratively, this opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number G16AS00024 and is categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the Natural Resources funding activity area. It is listed under CFDA 15.807. The opportunity was posted and created on March 11, 2016, and the application deadline was May 25, 2016 (both the original and current closing date are the same). Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is generally open to any type of applicant entity, with the caveat that applicants should review any additional eligibility details that may be included in the full announcement text. The published record does not specify an award ceiling (shown as 0) and does not state the expected number of awards in the provided data, so prospective applicants would typically need to consult the full notice or program guidance to understand likely award sizes, project periods, and funding levels.
In practical terms, the grant program is meant to bring in a broad community of researchers and practitioners whose work can improve earthquake hazard assessment and ultimately support safer communities. Projects under this umbrella commonly address topics like earthquake source processes and fault behavior, ground motion and shaking impacts, earthquake forecasting and probability models, and research that helps translate science into building practices, mitigation strategies, and policy decisions aimed at reducing loss of life and property.
