Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FA 0412
The EARTH MRI-SOUTH CAROLINA opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 19 FA 0412) is a discretionary federal grant administered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. It is offered through the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial federal involvement or collaboration rather than functioning as a simple pass-through grant.
This award sits under the broader USGS Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI), a national effort focused on strengthening the United States' understanding of where critical mineral resources may occur. The core mission described for Earth MRI is to collect and improve geophysical, geologic, and topographic data in areas with potential for critical minerals. In practical terms, that typically means generating or updating foundational mapping and subsurface datasets that can help identify mineral-bearing formations, guide follow-up investigations, and reduce uncertainty for public-sector planning and responsible resource development.
Eligibility for this specific opportunity is limited to state governments, indicating the primary intended applicant is a state-level geological survey or similar state agency in South Carolina that can carry out or coordinate mapping and data collection activities. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the program is associated with CFDA number 15.808. The notice anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $140,000, setting the maximum amount available under this solicitation.
Key timing details in the announcement show it was created on September 3, 2019, with an original closing date of September 17, 2019, reflecting a short application window. Overall, the grant is designed to support targeted Earth MRI data acquisition and mapping work in South Carolina that advances the national objective of identifying and characterizing areas with critical mineral potential through improved public geoscience information.Apply for USGS 19 FA 0412
