Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FA 0060
The Hazard Assessment and Monitoring of Aleutian Arc Volcanoes opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 19 FA 0060) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Department of the Interior, discretionary funding action set up as a cooperative agreement. It is essentially a formal notice that USGS intends to make a single award to the State of Alaska, specifically the Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (ADGGS), rather than running a broadly competitive grant round. The program is tied to CFDA 15.818 and is limited to eligible applicants in the category of state governments, reflecting that the intended recipient is a state agency with a specialized, long-term public safety role in Alaska.
The core purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support ongoing hazard assessment and monitoring work focused on volcanoes in the Aleutian Arc. In practical terms, the project is aimed at continuing geologic mapping and producing or updating volcanic hazard assessments for selected Aleutian Arc volcanoes. Geologic mapping in volcanic regions typically involves documenting volcanic deposits and structures on the ground, reconstructing past eruption histories, and identifying where hazardous processes have occurred before (for example, ashfall, lava flows, pyroclastic flows, lahars, debris avalanches, and volcanic gas impacts). Hazard assessments then use that mapping and related datasets to outline likely future hazards and the areas most at risk, providing information that can be used for land-use planning, emergency management, aviation safety considerations, and situational awareness during unrest or eruption.
A key reason ADGGS is singled out in this notice is its long-standing role as a partner in the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) and its deep institutional experience monitoring Alaska volcanoes over multiple decades. The description highlights 31 years of experience, which matters because effective volcano hazard work depends heavily on local knowledge, familiarity with remote-field logistics, established response protocols, and the ability to integrate scientific observations with real-time decision support. The notice also emphasizes that ADGGS staff bring a range of relevant scientific expertise, including physical volcanology and petrology (understanding eruption behavior and magma characteristics), geophysics (interpreting signals such as seismicity or deformation), and geochemistry (using chemical signatures of rocks, ash, and gases to interpret volcanic processes). It also notes a track record of eruption response, which implies the recipient is expected not only to do research and mapping but also to contribute to operational readiness and coordinated response when volcanoes show signs of unrest.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity was created on February 27, 2019, with an original closing date of March 13, 2019. The expected number of awards is one, and the award ceiling is listed as $2,182,950, indicating the maximum anticipated federal support under this announcement. Because it is a cooperative agreement, it typically implies substantial involvement by USGS during the project, such as coordinating technical approaches, sharing data, aligning products with federal hazard communication needs, and integrating results into broader AVO and USGS volcano hazard frameworks.
Overall, the announcement describes a targeted investment in continued, on-the-ground and analytical work to better understand and communicate volcanic hazards in the Aleutian Arc, leveraging ADGGS’s established partnership with AVO, multidisciplinary scientific capabilities, and experience working directly with Alaska-based emergency responders at the state and local level.Apply for USGS 19 FA 0060
