Opportunity Summary:
STATEMAP is the state-focused portion of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP), run by the U.S. Geological Survey, and it is designed to help states produce modern geologic maps and supporting data where that information is especially important to the state. The central aim is to build and refine the geologic framework for places that matter most to a given state, whether the motivation is economic (such as mineral resources, construction materials, or energy development), social and public safety needs (such as landslides, earthquakes, sinkholes, coastal erosion, or groundwater protection), or scientific priorities (such as understanding regional geology, stratigraphy, and geologic history). In practical terms, the program supports targeted mapping projects that fill key gaps in geologic knowledge so states can make better decisions about land use, infrastructure, hazard mitigation, and resource management.
A defining feature of STATEMAP is that mapping priorities are set at the state level rather than being dictated nationally. The State Geologist leads the process and selects mapping areas in consultation with a State Mapping Advisory Committee that is intentionally multi-representational, meaning it should reflect a mix of stakeholders and expertise relevant to state needs. The announcement emphasizes that priorities should be grounded in two main drivers: first, areas with multiple-issue needs or a compelling single-issue need for geologic map information (for example, regions facing rapid development, groundwater stress, recurring slope failures, or known fault hazards); and second, areas where mapping is specifically required to solve critical earth science problems in the state (for example, resolving stratigraphic relationships that control aquifer behavior, clarifying surficial geology that affects flood or debris-flow risk, or improving understanding of bedrock structure tied to seismic risk).
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, reflecting that the work is a collaborative scientific effort and not simply a procurement contract. The funding opportunity number is G13AS00006, and it is associated with CFDA 15.810 (National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program). The estimated total funding listed for the competition is $6,962,506, with an expected 45 awards. Individual awards are capped with an award ceiling of $300,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, which typically signals that award sizes may vary and that proposals are evaluated competitively rather than guaranteed a minimum amount.
Eligibility is narrowly defined by statute. Only State Geological Surveys are eligible to apply for STATEMAP funding under the National Geologic Mapping Act (Public Law 111-11). Because many State Geological Surveys are housed within state university systems, the announcement clarifies that a state university may submit an application on behalf of the State Geological Survey when that is the survey's administrative structure. A key ongoing qualification requirement is that the State Geological Survey must have a State Mapping Advisory Committee (or an equivalent body) that meets annually; maintaining that annual meeting is a condition for being eligible for funding.
Timing details in the posted notice show that the opportunity was posted and created on October 1, 2012, with an original and current closing date of November 7, 2012. The listing points applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application instructions. For help obtaining or accessing the announcement, the contact provided is Kimberly Dove, Grant Specialist at the USGS, reachable at 703-648-7487 or kdove@usgs.gov.
STATEMAP (NCGMP) Grant Opportunity FAQs
1) What is STATEMAP?
STATEMAP is the state-focused component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) run by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It supports states in producing modern geologic maps and supporting data in locations where that information is especially important to the state.
2) What is the main purpose of the STATEMAP program?
The central aim is to build and refine a state's geologic framework in the places that matter most to that state. The program funds targeted geologic mapping projects that fill key gaps in geologic knowledge so states can make better decisions about land use, infrastructure, hazard mitigation, and resource management.
3) What kinds of needs can STATEMAP mapping projects address?
The program is designed to support mapping where geologic information is important for:
- Economic needs, such as mineral resources, construction materials, or energy development
- Social and public safety needs, such as landslides, earthquakes, sinkholes, coastal erosion, or groundwater protection
- Scientific priorities, such as understanding regional geology, stratigraphy, and geologic history
4) How are mapping priorities chosen under STATEMAP?
A defining feature of STATEMAP is that mapping priorities are set at the state level rather than being dictated nationally. The State Geologist leads the process and selects mapping areas in consultation with a State Mapping Advisory Committee (or an equivalent body).
5) What is the State Mapping Advisory Committee and why does it matter?
The State Mapping Advisory Committee is intended to be multi-representational, meaning it should reflect a mix of stakeholders and expertise relevant to state needs. It plays a formal role in advising the State Geologist on mapping priorities.
6) Are there specific drivers the announcement says should guide mapping priorities?
Yes. The announcement emphasizes two main drivers for selecting mapping priorities:
- Areas with multiple-issue needs or a compelling single-issue need for geologic map information (examples given include regions facing rapid development, groundwater stress, recurring slope failures, or known fault hazards).
- Areas where mapping is required to solve critical earth science problems in the state (examples given include resolving stratigraphic relationships that control aquifer behavior, clarifying surficial geology that affects flood or debris-flow risk, or improving understanding of bedrock structure tied to seismic risk).
7) What type of federal funding instrument is STATEMAP using?
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. That indicates the work is described as a collaborative scientific effort rather than a procurement contract.
8) What is the funding opportunity number for this STATEMAP notice?
The funding opportunity number listed is G13AS00006.
9) What CFDA program is associated with this opportunity?
The notice associates this opportunity with CFDA 15.810, the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program.
10) How much total funding is estimated for the competition?
The estimated total funding listed is $6,962,506.
11) How many awards are expected?
The notice lists an expected 45 awards.
12) What is the maximum award amount (award ceiling)?
The award ceiling is listed as $300,000 per award.
13) What is the minimum award amount (award floor)?
The award floor is listed as $0, which typically indicates that award sizes may vary and that proposals are evaluated competitively rather than having a guaranteed minimum award amount.
14) Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is narrowly defined by statute. Only State Geological Surveys are eligible to apply for STATEMAP funding under the National Geologic Mapping Act (Public Law 111-11).
15) Can a state university submit the application?
Yes, in cases where a State Geological Survey is housed within a state university system, the notice clarifies that a state university may submit an application on behalf of the State Geological Survey, consistent with that administrative structure.
16) Is having a State Mapping Advisory Committee required to be eligible?
Yes. A key ongoing eligibility requirement is that the State Geological Survey must have a State Mapping Advisory Committee (or an equivalent body) that meets annually. Maintaining that annual meeting is stated as a condition for being eligible for funding.
17) When was this opportunity posted?
The timing details in the notice show the opportunity was posted and created on October 1, 2012.
18) What is the application closing date listed in the notice?
