Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FA 0411
Earth MRI Alaska is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funding opportunity under the Department of the Interior focused on advancing geologic mapping and related Earth science data collection in Alaska in support of the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI). Earth MRI is a national effort designed to improve the availability and quality of geophysical, geologic, and topographic information in places that show potential for critical minerals. In practical terms, the program supports work that helps identify, characterize, and understand mineral-resource potential by building better foundational datasets that can be used by government, researchers, and other stakeholders to guide future assessments and responsible resource planning.
This particular opportunity is administered through the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) and is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would work in close coordination with the USGS rather than simply receiving a hands-off grant. The funding instrument signals an expectation of collaboration, shared technical direction, and alignment with Earth MRI priorities for data acquisition and mapping. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 15.808, which covers USGS cooperative research and related assistance activities.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, indicating the program is structured to partner directly with state-level agencies or entities in Alaska that have mapping responsibilities or capacity to carry out field and data-collection work. The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $100,000. The notice was created on September 3, 2019, with an original application closing date of September 17, 2019, reflecting a short application window typical of targeted, mission-driven cooperative agreements.
Overall, Earth MRI Alaska is best understood as targeted support for producing high-value geoscience information in Alaska that strengthens the national critical-minerals knowledge base. By funding focused mapping and data collection aligned with Earth MRI goals, the USGS aims to reduce data gaps, improve scientific understanding of mineral systems, and provide modern datasets that can underpin subsequent mineral-resource evaluations and decision-making.Apply for USGS 19 FA 0411
