Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice (Funding Opportunity Number G15AP00112) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announcement of intent to make a single, non-competitive assistance award in the form of a grant. It falls under the discretionary funding category, with an environment-related activity focus, and is tied to CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The core purpose is to provide support for the 2015 Earth Science Week (ESW), a national outreach and education effort designed to strengthen public understanding of the earth sciences and encourage participation in earth science learning.
The USGS states that it intends to provide funding to the American Geological Institute specifically to support Earth Science Week programming and activities. The emphasis of ESW is on engagement and connection: it is described as a setting where earth scientists can interact and collaborate directly with students, teachers, parents, and broader community members. The initiative is framed as both educational and community-oriented, aiming to help participants teach, learn, and share knowledge in ways that promote greater appreciation for earth science topics and the role earth sciences play in society.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is structured as a one-award action with a total anticipated amount of $50,000. Both the award floor and award ceiling are listed as $50,000, indicating the planned award amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a specified portion of funds or in-kind support as a condition of the award. Although the eligibility category is listed broadly as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the title and description make clear that this is a notice of intent for a non-competitive award to a particular organization rather than an open competition among multiple applicants.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 26, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 10, 2015, and an archive date of August 9, 2015. The awarding agency is the Geological Survey (USGS). For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Margaret Eastman, Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 703-648-7366.
