Technical Announcement:
USGS Offers $7 Million in Earthquake Research Grants
-Applications Due May 13, 2009-
RESTON, Va. - The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) will award up to $7 
million in grants and cooperative agreements for earthquake research in 
2010.
Interested researchers can apply online at www.grants.gov under the 
funding opportunity number 10HQPA0001. Applications are due May 13, 2009.
The USGS awards approximately 90 research grants annually to universities, 
state geological surveys and private institutions. Key projects include 
cataloging earthquakes in Southern California to better prepare emergency 
responders, the public and the media about earthquakes; providing seismic 
hazard estimates so communities and critical institutions can engineer 
their buildings and roads to be structurally sound; and providing data on 
ground shaking to help minimize damage.
"We encourage research proposals focused on the geographical areas in the 
United States that are most at risk from earthquakes, on earthquake 
physics, earthquake effects and nationally applicable earthquake hazards 
issues," said Elizabeth Lemersal, external research support manager for 
the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program.

Hazards Program, External Research Support Web site.
