The primary objective of the EDMAP component of the NCGMP is to train the next generation of geologic mappers. To do this NCGMP provides funds for graduate and selected undergraduate students in academic research projects that involve geologic mapping as a major component. Through these cooperative agreements NCGMP hopes to expand the research and educational capacity of academic programs that teach earth science students the techniques of geologic mapping and field data analysis. Another important goal is to increase the level of communication between the Nations geologic surveys (both State Geological Surveys and the USGS) and geologic mappers in the academic community. We hope that this improved communication will have two results: 1) that the academic mapping community will learn more about the societal needs that drive geologic mapping projects at the USGS and State Geologic Surveys, and 2) more geologic maps produced in academia will eventually be made available to the public.

U.S. accredited university Geoscience or related Departments are eligible for EDMAP funds. University professors must write and submit the proposals. EDMAP cooperative grants are intended to fund students doing geologic mapping in the field. While it is proper for the professors/advisors to ask for some logistical support so that they may be with their student(s) in the field for a credible amount of time, the bulk of the award is intended to support the students mapping efforts. EDMAP cooperative grants do not support faculty salaries. Masters and Doctoral students of Geoscience or related Departments at accredited United States colleges and universities are eligible applicants to the EDMAP Program. In addition, qualified undergraduate Juniors and Seniors are also eligible. These undergraduates should have received some basic mineralogy, petrology and structural geology training prior to the time they will do the geologic mapping proposed in this proposal. Cost sharing or matching funds are required. Applicants should confirm final requirements in the official notice before submission.
Current published award information indicates Funding amounts vary based on project scope and sponsor guidance. Always verify allowable costs, matching requirements, and funding caps directly in the sponsor documentation.
The current target date is November 13, 2008. Build your timeline backwards from this date to cover registrations, approvals, attachments, and final submission checks.
Federal grant success rates typically range from 10-30%, varying by agency and program. Build a strong proposal with clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and a well-justified budget to improve your chances.
Requirements vary by sponsor, but typically include a project narrative, budget justification, organizational capability statement, and key personnel CVs. Check the official notice for the complete list of required attachments.
Yes — AI tools like Granted can help research funders, draft proposal sections, and check compliance. However, always review and customize AI-generated content to reflect your organization's unique strengths and the specific requirements of the solicitation.
Review timelines vary by funder. Federal agencies typically take 3-6 months from submission to award notification. Foundation grants may be faster, often 1-3 months. Check the program's timeline in the official solicitation for specific dates.
Many federal programs offer multi-year funding or allow competitive renewals. Check the official solicitation for continuation and renewal policies. Non-competing continuation applications are common for multi-year awards.

The National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP)was authorized by Section 351 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58, Sec. 351). Objectives of the Program, as outlined in the Act, are to: (1) Archive geologic, geophysical, and engineering data, maps, well logs, and samples; (2) Provide a national catalog of such archival material; and (3) Provide technical data and financial assistance related to the archival material.

The USGS and PRIDCO share common interests and expertise in the general areas of water resources and spatial databases. The CFWSC will establish its primary office at the Cruz A. Matos building in Rio Piedras, which is managed by PRIDCO, to facilitate these cooperative science objectives with PRIDCO. Collocation at the Cruz A. Matos building will also provide opportunity for scientific interaction with other earth science agencies also located in the building and with whom the USGS has ongoing cooperative agreements such as the PR Department of Natural and Environmental Resources, the Environmental Quality Board, and the San Juan Bay Estuary. Funding Opportunity Number: G15AC00266. Assistance Listing: 15.808. Funding Instrument: CA. Category: NR. Award Amount: Up to $1.9M per award.
