Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS FA 20 0042
This Notice of Intent (Funding Opportunity Number USGS FA 20 0042) describes the U.S. Geological Survey's plan to make a single discretionary award through a cooperative agreement to the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) to support a project called "Assistance in Undertaking a Community Review of Ridgecrest Earthquake Sequence Investigations." In practical terms, the grant is meant to fund and organize a structured, community-wide review of what was learned from the Ridgecrest, California earthquake sequence, with a strong emphasis on bringing together the right mix of technical experts and decision-making stakeholders to capture lessons that can immediately improve earthquake risk reduction.
The core objective is to support participation by key stakeholders in programming tied to the one-year anniversary of the Ridgecrest sequence, hosted as part of the 2020 National Earthquake Conference in San Diego, California, scheduled for March 2-6, 2020. The opportunity is focused less on producing new standalone research and more on synthesizing and evaluating the investigations that occurred after Ridgecrest, identifying what the community learned, where gaps remain, and what should be prioritized next. The intent is to convene people across disciplines so the discussion goes beyond narrow technical takeaways and instead surfaces multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary lessons, including areas where research and practice intersect.
A major deliverable implied by the announcement is a set of broadly informed recommendations drawn from the workshop or conference sessions. Participants are expected to define the major lessons from Ridgecrest and highlight opportunities for further work across a range of fields, including "transformative and cross-cutting" research areas where that kind of framing makes sense. Just as important as generating recommendations is ensuring they do not stay within a small circle of attendees. The notice explicitly states that outcomes from the presentations and discussions will be shared widely with both researchers and practitioners in earthquake risk reduction, using EERI's communication channels as well as distribution through NEHRP agencies (the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program) and other partners.
The announcement also makes clear why EERI is the intended recipient. USGS frames EERI as uniquely qualified because it is a leading nonprofit membership organization dedicated to reducing earthquake risk and is widely recognized for its post-earthquake field investigations and the reports that translate observed earthquake effects into actionable knowledge for engineering and policy. The notice also points to EERI's experience running large conferences and convenings on earthquake risk, which is directly relevant to organizing and executing a community review tied to a national conference setting.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.808, with an expected single award and an award ceiling of $32,200. Eligible applicants are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), though the notice is written as an intent to award to EERI specifically rather than an open, competitive solicitation. The opportunity was posted on December 17, 2019, with an original closing date of December 24, 2019, reflecting the time-sensitive nature of supporting participation and planning for a March 2020 conference.Apply for USGS FA 20 0042
