Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS FA 17 0349
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 supporting the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) under the Regents of the University of Minnesota. The project is titled "Quaternary Geological Map of Northern Minnesota at 1:500,000," and its central purpose is to produce a regional-scale geologic map depicting the Quaternary geology of northern Minnesota at a 1:500,000 scale. In practical terms, that scale is intended for broad, statewide or multi-county planning and scientific synthesis rather than site-specific engineering design.
The project focus is on Quaternary geology, meaning the unconsolidated sediments and related geologic features formed during roughly the last 2.6 million years, including deposits and landforms associated with glaciation, meltwater processes, lakes, rivers, wind, and modern soils. A map at this scale typically compiles and interprets existing source data (such as prior mapping, surficial geology datasets, sediment descriptions, borehole records, and landform analyses) into a consistent regional framework. Products like this are commonly used to support groundwater and surface-water studies, aggregate and mineral resource assessments, ecological and habitat interpretations tied to surficial materials, and land-use or infrastructure planning where understanding glacial deposits and sediments is important.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency during project performance compared with a standard grant. The funding activity area is natural resources, and the program 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 MGS).
Key dates and funding details provided include a creation date of July 25, 2017, and an original closing date of August 8, 2017, indicating a short response window typical of a Notice of Intent aimed at a specific partner. The anticipated award structure is for one expected award with an award ceiling of $54,492. The opportunity number is USGS FA 17 0349, which is the identifier used to track the announcement in USGS funding systems and public listings.
Overall, this is a targeted federal-university cooperative mapping effort intended to deliver a comprehensive Quaternary geologic map of northern Minnesota at 1:500,000, providing an updated, standardized depiction of surficial materials and landforms that can be used for scientific understanding and natural resource decision-making across the region.Apply for USGS FA 17 0349
