Opportunity Information: Apply for G19AS00009
The 2019 National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. The program was created under Section 351 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58), which highlights the long-term economic and public value of preserving geological and geophysical information and making it findable and accessible in the future. In practical terms, the program exists because large amounts of subsurface and related earth-science data are costly or impossible to recreate once lost, and they often become more valuable over time as new questions, technologies, and resource needs emerge.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to support preservation-focused work involving geological, geophysical, and engineering materials. The program objectives, as stated in the authorizing law and echoed in the funding notice, center on three main goals: first, to archive important earth-science assets such as geologic and geophysical data, maps, well logs, engineering records, and physical samples; second, to ensure these holdings are represented in a national catalog so users can discover what exists and where it is stored; and third, to provide technical and financial assistance tied to the archiving and cataloging of these materials. In other words, the grant is aimed at preventing irreplaceable data from deteriorating or disappearing, while also improving the ability of researchers, agencies, and industry to locate and use preserved information.
This specific funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G19AS00009) was posted on January 31, 2019, with an application closing date of March 14, 2019. The assistance listing is under CFDA 15.814. The program anticipated making about 40 awards. The notice lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that a specific per-award maximum was not provided in the summarized listing and that applicants should rely on the full announcement or program guidance for budget expectations and constraints.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to state governments. That generally means the program is structured to work through state-level agencies or entities responsible for geologic information, sample repositories, data libraries, or similar public stewardship functions. While the summary does not spell out project examples, the stated objectives strongly imply that competitive proposals would align with preserving at-risk datasets and samples, organizing and documenting them to professional standards, and ensuring the resulting inventory information can be incorporated into a broader national discovery framework. The overall emphasis is on stewardship: keeping valuable geoscience records safe, properly described, and accessible enough to support future scientific work, hazard and land-use decisions, and resource and infrastructure planning.
For additional legislative context, the program points applicants to the Energy Policy Act language hosted at http://datapreservation.usgs.gov/page/policyact, where Section 351 describes the statutory rationale and high-level direction behind the NGGDPP.Apply for G19AS00009
