Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Data Collection and Data Sharing" (Funding Opportunity Number: USGS FA 11 0546), was offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under its research and data collection assistance program (CFDA 15.808). It was published on August 3, 2015, and categorized as a discretionary science and technology/research and development award. The selected recipient would receive support through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
The core purpose of the opportunity is straightforward and highly mission-oriented: to acquire and share geophysical data produced by scientific instruments operating at the Jack Townshend College International Geophysical Observatory (CIGO). In practical terms, the funded work would focus on collecting geophysical observations (as generated by the observatory's installed instrumentation) and ensuring those data are made available for broader scientific use. The emphasis on "data sharing" indicates that the deliverables are not limited to raw collection alone, but also include the handling, organization, and distribution of the data so it can be accessed and used by others, consistent with USGS goals around research infrastructure and public scientific information.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. Only one award was expected, and the funding level was fixed: an estimated total of $56,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $56,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Key administrative dates show this was a short-turnaround announcement. The posted and creation dates were both August 3, 2015, and the application deadline (original and current closing date) was August 17, 2015. The opportunity was archived on September 16, 2015, signaling it is no longer open for applications and is retained primarily for recordkeeping and reference.
For applicant support or issues accessing the announcement, the listed USGS contact was Tangee Brookie, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-236-9322 or by email at tbrookie@usgs.gov.
