> The U.S. Geological Survey will award up to $5 million in grants for
> earthquake hazards research in 2015.
> 
> ³The grants offered through the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program are an
> established and long-standing effort that have proven to be a success every
> year, with talented, scientific applicants who significantly contribute to the
> advancement of earthquake research,² said Bill Leith, USGS Senior Science
> Advisor for Earthquake and Geologic Hazards. ³Every year we are rewarded by
> innovative proposals from across the country, so we encourage the continued
> submission of new ideas to help earthquake science evolve and, ultimately,
> reduce earthquake losses.²
> 
> Interested researchers can apply online at GRANTS.GOV
> <http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=252944>  under
> funding opportunity number G14AS00036. Applications are due May 22, 2014.
> 
> Each year the USGS awards earthquake hazards research grants to universities,
> state geological surveys, and private institutions. Past projects included
> investigating the Central Virginia Seismic Zone to develop a better
> understanding of this active seismic zone; examining the paleoseismic record
> in the Prince William Sound area of Alaska to characterize earthquakes prior
> to the Great Alaska Earthquake of 1964 to better understand future earthquakes
> in this hazard-prone area; and using GPS to measure ground deformation in the
> greater Las Vegas area and provide information on how faults will rupture in
> large, damaging earthquakes.
> 
> A complete list of funded projects and reports

> Earthquake Hazards Program external research support website.
