Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Notice of Intent - Committee on Seismology and Geodynamics" (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 15 FA 0348), is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announcement indicating the agency's intention to make a single cooperative agreement award to support the National Academy of Sciences' Committee on Seismology and Geodynamics. In practical terms, it is not a broad, open competition meant to fund multiple unrelated projects. Instead, it signals USGS plans to fund a specific partner organization to carry out a defined set of committee-based scientific and knowledge-transfer activities tied to USGS interests in earth science.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply providing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity falls under the Natural Resources funding category and is associated with CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, and the award amount is fixed: an award floor and ceiling of $42,000, with one expected award total.
The purpose of the funding is to support the Committee on Seismology and Geodynamics, which oversees scientific studies connected to the Earth's structure and dynamics. This includes topics that sit at the intersection of seismology (the study of earthquakes and seismic waves) and geodynamics (the study of the physical processes driving the Earth's internal motion and deformation). Beyond coordinating and overseeing studies, the committee is also positioned as a channel for moving knowledge from the research community into practical use, helping transfer seismological and geodynamics information to both public-sector and private-sector stakeholders. That kind of transfer can include synthesizing current science, identifying research gaps, producing consensus reports or technical guidance, convening expert discussions, and helping ensure that scientific findings are communicated in ways that support decision-making and applied work.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education, and the description makes clear that the intended recipient is the National Academy of Sciences. The announcement was posted and created on July 21, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 4, 2015, and an archive date of September 3, 2015. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact is Margaret Eastman, Contract Specialist, at 703-648-7366.
