Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS FA 19 0088
The Notice of Intent: Earth Science Week 2019 (Funding Opportunity Number USGS FA 19 0088) is a discretionary grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. It is focused on natural resources education and outreach, and it sits under CFDA 15.808. The intent of the notice is to fund a single, specific effort rather than run an open competition for multiple new projects.
This opportunity announces USGSs plan to award one grant, with a maximum (award ceiling) of $49,000, to support Earth Science Week 2019. Earth Science Week is described as a long-running, nationwide outreach program led by the American Geological Institute (AGI) and supported by its partner members across the geoscience community. The program is positioned as one of the best-known geoscience outreach efforts in the United States, with events and coordinated activities occurring in all 50 states. Those activities typically take place at science agencies, universities, museums, and similar science-oriented venues, creating a broad network of public-facing education events.
The 2019 theme, "Geoscience is for Everyone," is central to the purpose of the grant. The notice emphasizes that the theme is meant to make Earth science learning more accessible and welcoming by offering resources and activities that help young people and the general public explore geoscience topics. A key goal is inclusion: encouraging participation from people of different backgrounds, ages, and abilities. The description also highlights multiple pathways for engagement, framing geoscience not only as a professional field but also as something people can connect with as hobbyists or through civic engagement (for example, learning about local hazards, water resources, land use, and environmental stewardship).
From an applicant and eligibility standpoint, the notice lists eligible applicants as nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). In practice, however, the text makes clear that this is a Notice of Intent to make an award specifically to AGI, meaning the action is essentially targeted rather than broadly competitive. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that the funding is intended to support a single organization in delivering the 2019 Earth Science Week campaign and its associated nationwide outreach materials and events.
Key dates included in the source information show the notice was created on June 10, 2019, with an original closing date of June 24, 2019. Overall, the grant is designed to strengthen and extend the reach of Earth Science Week 2019 by supporting AGIs coordination, educational resources, and event-driven public engagement under the "Geoscience is for Everyone" theme.Apply for USGS FA 19 0088
