Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 17 FA 0154
This Notice of Intent to Award is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), focused on science and technology research and development related to landslide science. The USGS is signaling its intention to make a single cooperative agreement award to the Colorado School of Mines to support work that strengthens and applies advanced geotechnical testing, analysis, and modeling capabilities for landslide research. In practical terms, the project is aimed at improving the tools and methods used to understand how and why landslides initiate, how they move, and what conditions make them more likely, using modern laboratory and analytical approaches that can better replicate real-world ground behavior.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Title "Notice of Intent to Award" and Funding Opportunity Number USGS 17 FA 0154. It falls under the discretionary category, meaning the awarding agency has decision-making authority over whether and how to make the award, rather than distributing funds via a formula. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the performance of the work. That involvement can include technical collaboration, shared planning, data coordination, or joint development of methods, all of which fits a research effort where USGS scientists and the recipient institution may work closely to align testing and modeling outputs with federal landslide research priorities.
The program is listed under CFDA Number 15.808, which corresponds to USGS research and data programs. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the notice specifies the Colorado School of Mines as the intended recipient. The notice also indicates that only one award is expected, reinforcing that this is not a broad competitive solicitation but a targeted intent to fund a specific institution for a specific capability development effort.
Financially, the award ceiling is $39,433, and the expected number of awards is one. The opportunity was created on May 3, 2017, with an original closing date of May 17, 2017. While the dollar amount is modest, the scope is focused: developing and applying state-of-the-art geotechnical testing and modeling capability can involve upgrading or tailoring laboratory procedures, improving how physical test data are interpreted, and integrating results into numerical or analytical models that can be used for landslide research applications. The intended outcome is a stronger technical basis for landslide investigations, which can support improved scientific understanding and, downstream, better hazard characterization methods.
Overall, this notice communicates that USGS planned to partner with the Colorado School of Mines through a cooperative agreement to advance geotechnical methods for landslide research, with a defined funding cap, a single expected award, and a short administrative window reflecting the targeted nature of the intended award.Apply for USGS 17 FA 0154
