Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 17 FA0302
The Cooperative Agreement in Seismology (Funding Opportunity Number: USGS 17 FA0302) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), within the Department of the Interior. It was created on July 21, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 31, 2017. The award is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work compared to a standard grant (for example, coordination on technical approach, data practices, deliverables, or project direction), although the specific nature of that involvement is not described in the provided source text.
This opportunity is explicitly described as non-competitive, indicating the award was not intended to be made through an open competition among multiple applicants. In many federal contexts, a non-competitive cooperative agreement is used when there is a specific partner, project need, or continuation of work that the agency has already identified, so the process is more about formalizing scope and funding than selecting among proposals. Only one award was expected under this announcement, reinforcing that it was structured for a single recipient or a single project.
The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with a note to consult an explanatory text field for clarification; however, that additional explanation is not included in the details provided. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.808, which is the catalog listing used to track federal domestic assistance programs. The maximum funding amount (award ceiling) is $76,000, and there is no separate floor amount provided in the information given. Because the ceiling is stated and only one award was expected, the likely scenario is a single cooperative agreement up to $76,000.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a reference to an additional eligibility information field that is not included here. As a result, the exact eligible entity types cannot be confirmed from the provided text alone, beyond the fact that eligibility was not limited to the most common standard categories shown in many grants listings (such as state governments, universities, or nonprofits) and instead relied on a more specific eligibility description elsewhere in the original posting.
In practical terms, the opportunity can be summarized as a time-limited, USGS-issued, single-recipient cooperative agreement focused on seismology-related work, offered through a non-competitive process, with up to $76,000 in federal funding and an end-of-July 2017 deadline for whatever application or acceptance materials were required.Apply for USGS 17 FA0302
