*Applications due June 6, 2013*


The U.S. Geological Survey will award up to $4 million in grants for
earthquake hazards research in 2014.


"The USGS has a long-standing grants program that has supported fresh and
cutting-edge ideas all in an effort to reduce earthquake losses and protect
communities," said USGS Senior Science Advisor Bill Leith. "We are looking
forward to seeing the new proposals for 2014 and continuing to invest in
innovative projects from experts across the nation and the world."


Interested researchers can apply online at
GRANTS.GOV<http://www.grants.gov/> under
funding opportunity number G13AS00029. *Applications are due June 6, 2013. *

Each year the USGS awards earthquake hazards research grants to
universities, state geological surveys and private institutions. Past
projects included 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
analyzing data on ground shaking to help minimize damage.
