Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS FA 18 0213
This funding opportunity is a Notice of Intent from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), within the Department of the Interior, to make a single cooperative agreement award to the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) operating under the University of Minnesota. The project is titled "2018/2019 Progress on Statewide Quaternary 3D Geological Mapping of MN" and is focused on continuing statewide efforts to build and improve a three-dimensional geologic mapping framework for Minnesota's Quaternary materials, meaning the relatively recent deposits from the Quaternary Period such as glacial sediments, sand and gravel, till, lake sediments, and other surficial and near-surface units that strongly influence groundwater and land-surface processes.
The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates that USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination on technical approaches, data standards, deliverables, and integration with broader federal mapping or data programs. The funding activity category is Natural Resources and the listing is associated with CFDA number 15.808. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the intended recipient being the University of Minnesota through the Minnesota Geological Survey. The notice signals that this is not a broadly competed solicitation; instead, it is an intent to fund a specific partner for a specific piece of ongoing work.
The stated objective is straightforward: continued work on Minnesota's statewide Quaternary 3D geological mapping. In practical terms, this kind of work generally supports improved understanding of the subsurface distribution and thickness of glacial and other unconsolidated deposits, which can be critical for groundwater resource assessments, well and aquifer planning, contaminant vulnerability and transport studies, aggregate resource evaluations, land-use planning, and infrastructure development. A statewide 3D framework also helps integrate and standardize a wide range of existing data sources, such as borehole and well logs, surficial geologic maps, geophysical surveys, and stratigraphic interpretations, into coherent digital products that can be used by scientists, agencies, and decision-makers.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number USGS FA 18 0213, with a creation date of June 29, 2018, and an original closing date of July 13, 2018. The anticipated award amount has a ceiling of $72,300, and the notice indicates that USGS expects to make one award. Overall, this notice reflects a targeted investment to maintain momentum on an established statewide geologic mapping effort, leveraging the Minnesota Geological Survey's local expertise and data holdings while aligning the work with USGS priorities and cooperative partnership practices.Apply for USGS FA 18 0213
