INDIVIDUAL PROJECT BUDGET- Template STATEMAP.docx

This is a budget template for individual projects submitted under the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP), administered by the U.S. Geological Survey. The template is designed for state geological surveys to detail project costs across multiple budget categories, including Personnel (with salary and fringe benefits), Travel (lodging, per diem, mileage), Supplies, Contracts/Sub-awards, and Other Direct Costs (drilling, sample analytics, digitization). The template specifies that indirect costs are not to exceed 18% and requires separate line-item entries for USGS Funds and Recipient Matching contributions. An example provided shows a total project cost of $127,000, with direct costs of $100,000 split equally between USGS and matching funds, plus $18,000 in indirect costs ($9,000 each from USGS and recipient).

This template is applicable to the STATEMAP program, which funds geologic mapping projects for one-year performance periods only. Proposals may be submitted as competing continuations if previously funded. The program is restricted to state geological surveys or state universities acting on behalf of state geological surveys. Award notifications are announced by mid-February following the submission deadline of January 16, 2026 (pending departmental approval). Funding awards are issued through cooperative agreements via GrantSolutions, and applicants must comply with 2 CFR Part 200 audit requirements and maintain records for three years after final financial report submission. Applications are submitted through Grants.gov using Standard Form (SF) 424.
