Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 10HQPA0001) was a discretionary, grant-based funding competition administered by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Earthquake Hazards Research Grants program (CFDA 15.807). It invited proposals for research projects that advance the goals of NEHRP, which centers on reducing earthquake losses by improving understanding of how earthquakes occur, how they affect the built and natural environment, and how that knowledge can be turned into usable products for both public and private sector decision-makers. In practical terms, the program emphasis is not just on basic science, but on producing research outputs that can inform hazard assessment, risk mitigation, engineering practice, planning, emergency preparedness, and other actions that reduce injuries, fatalities, and economic disruption from earthquakes.
This opportunity was categorized under the Natural Resources funding activity area and was open to unrestricted applicants, meaning a broad range of organizations and entities could apply, subject to any additional eligibility details contained in the full announcement. The listing does not indicate any cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility. The posting and creation dates were March 12, 2009, with an application closing date of May 13, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on June 12, 2009, which generally indicates the competition window had ended and the announcement was no longer active for new submissions.
The award floor and ceiling are listed as 0, which typically signals that specific minimum and maximum award amounts were not provided in the summarized metadata and would instead be detailed in the full solicitation or depend on appropriations and proposal scope. Applicants interested in developing or submitting proposals, or those who experienced difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, were directed to contact the contracting officer, Margaret Eastman, at 703-648-7366. Overall, the grant opportunity aimed to support research that contributes tangible, actionable advances in earthquake hazard science and loss-reduction outcomes consistent with NEHRP’s mission.
