Opportunity Summary:
The 2009 National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 09HQPA0009) was a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Geological Survey. It was created and posted on December 11, 2008, with an application deadline of January 26, 2009, and it was later archived on February 25, 2009. The program sits within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development funding category and is tied to CFDA 15.814, which is specifically designated for the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program.
This program was authorized by Section 351 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58). The underlying purpose is straightforward but important: to prevent valuable geological and geophysical information from being lost or degraded over time and to make that information easier to find and use. The statute lays out three core objectives. First, the program supports efforts to archive geologic, geophysical, and engineering data along with associated materials such as maps, well logs, and physical samples. Second, it aims to support a national catalog so that preserved data and materials can be discovered and accessed more efficiently across jurisdictions and institutions. Third, it provides technical and financial assistance connected to preserving and managing these kinds of archival resources, which can include improving storage conditions, organizing collections, and enabling data to be shared in consistent formats.
In 2009, the opportunity anticipated making about 35 awards with an estimated total funding level of $550,000. The announcement does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are listed as 0), which typically signals that award sizes could vary depending on the scope of proposed work and available funds rather than being constrained by a fixed minimum or maximum amount in the synopsis. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the program included a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources (such as state funds, staff time, services, or other eligible contributions) to support the proposed activities alongside federal dollars.
Eligibility for this competition was limited to state governments. That focus aligns with how much of the nation’s geologic information is held and maintained at the state level, often by state geological surveys or related state agencies responsible for resource management, hazard assessment, and public records tied to drilling and subsurface investigations.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the complete announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Margaret Eastman, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 703-648-7366.
