Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS FA 19 0299
This 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 to the University of Alaska to support a symposium focused on the November 30, 2018 Anchorage earthquake. Although the title references a 2019 Anchorage earthquake symposium, the substance of the notice makes clear the event of interest is the 2018 Anchorage earthquake and the goal is to convene a dedicated forum around what happened, what has been learned so far, and what still needs to be studied.
The main purpose of the cooperative agreement is to fund and organize a symposium that brings together the research and practitioner community to examine the earthquake and its wide-ranging impacts. The symposium is intended to highlight research already conducted, compile and share observations and datasets generated by the event, and, importantly, spark new investigations and collaborations across academia, government agencies, and the private sector. In other words, it is not just a retrospective meeting; it is structured to accelerate follow-on work by helping people compare findings, identify gaps, align methodologies, and form partnerships that can take advantage of the time-sensitive data and lessons still emerging.
USGS frames the November 30, 2018 Anchorage earthquake as one of the most consequential U.S. earthquakes in many years, with damages described as being in the hundreds of millions of dollars and still under assessment at the time of the notice. The agency emphasizes the idea that, while the event was harmful to residents and infrastructure, it also produced an unusually valuable real-world "natural experiment." Because large, damaging earthquakes with extensive monitoring and broad societal impacts are relatively rare in the United States, the combination of geophysical measurements, engineering performance data, emergency response information, and community impacts constitutes an exceptionally rich dataset. The notice underscores that these lessons can only be fully captured if the wider research community is actively engaged in collecting, curating, sharing, and analyzing observations in a coordinated way, which is exactly what the symposium is meant to encourage.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement mechanism, indicating substantial involvement and collaboration with the federal agency rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," reflecting that the primary output is a convening and coordination effort (the symposium) rather than a typical standalone research project. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.808. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the notice indicates an intent to award to a specific institution, the University of Alaska, with one expected award.
Key dates and funding limits are straightforward: the notice was created on July 29, 2019, with an original closing date of August 12, 2019. The award ceiling is $59,951, and USGS anticipates issuing only one award. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted support for a single, focused symposium designed to consolidate what is known about the 2018 Anchorage earthquake, promote broader use of the rare data the event generated, and catalyze the next wave of interdisciplinary research and applied lessons for hazard mitigation, infrastructure resilience, and societal preparedness.Apply for USGS FA 19 0299
