Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FA 0029
This grant 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 State of Alaska, Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (ADGGS). The project is titled "Advanced Warning of Volcanic Activity Using Digital Telemetry Networks at Alaska Volcanoes," and it is focused on strengthening Alaska's volcano monitoring capability so scientists can detect unrest earlier and issue warnings sooner.
At the center of the project is the move toward a more robust, modernized digital system for collecting and transmitting monitoring data from instruments installed on and around Alaska volcanoes. In practical terms, this means upgrading field monitoring networks by converting older analog telemetry and related components to digital telemetry and digital data collection methods. The intent is to improve both the reliability of monitoring networks and the quality of the data they deliver to the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO). Better data quality and more dependable communications links translate directly into better situational awareness for AVO scientists, which supports earlier detection of changes that can precede eruptions and other hazardous activity.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project. The work supports AVO, and the justification for selecting ADGGS is its long-standing role as an AVO partner dating back to 1988, along with its specialized operational experience in Alaska. The description emphasizes that ADGGS has developed deep expertise in the annual fieldwork required to maintain remote monitoring installations, as well as the complex maritime and aviation logistics that are often necessary to reach volcano sites in Alaska. It also highlights the practical technical capacity of ADGGS field technicians, who are experienced in maintaining monitoring networks and performing the hands-on analog-to-digital conversions needed to improve these systems.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity listed under Funding Opportunity Number USGS 19 FA 0029 and associated with CFDA 15.818. Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the notice is specifically oriented toward an intended award to the State of Alaska through ADGGS. The anticipated number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $4,746,588. The opportunity was created on November 27, 2018, with an original closing date of December 11, 2018.
Overall, the opportunity is about investing in upgraded digital telemetry and instrumentation infrastructure for volcano monitoring in Alaska, leveraging ADGGS's established partnership with AVO and its on-the-ground field and logistics capability. The end goal is a stronger, more resilient monitoring network that provides earlier and clearer warning signals of volcanic unrest, supporting public safety and hazard response in a region where remote terrain and harsh conditions make reliable monitoring especially challenging.Apply for USGS 19 FA 0029
