About this program
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Department of the Interior, funds cooperative agreements supporting collection, verification, and dissemination of energy-related stratigraphic, chemical, and GIS data through the National Energy Resources Data System (CFDA 15.819), with the most recent grant award dated September 1, 2016.
This program has been dormant since 2016. The portfolio shows 48 total awards across a funding history reaching back to 2010, with highly variable annual activity: 25 awards in 2010, then sporadic awards in 2011 (1), 2013 (1), 2015 (20), and 2016 (1). No grant opportunities have been posted since April 14, 2015, and no new awards have been issued in nearly a decade.
The program funds state and regional data compilation, digitization, and analysis supporting energy resource assessment—predominantly coal resources through the National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS), but also petroleum, geothermal, and unconventional reservoirs. Recent awards funded Indiana data collection for coal resources (Indiana University, $29,990), studies of petroleum source potential in Alaska coal ($49,561), geothermal resource mapping in the Williston Basin (North Dakota Geological Survey, $20,000), and gas-shale sample analysis in Texas ($29,974). Earlier awards supported state-level coal database compilation in Pennsylvania ($80,000), Kentucky ($59,999), Virginia ($71,257), and other coal-bearing states, as well as petrographic analysis, stratigraphic evaluation, and CO2 sequestration potential studies.
All 48 awards are Cooperative Agreements. Funding is concentrated entirely within USGS: the parent USGS agency issued 27 awards totaling $1.4 million, while USGS Office of Acquisitions and Grants issued 21 awards totaling $603 thousand. Combined federal obligation across the portfolio is $2 million. Recent awards typically cluster in the $29,000 to $30,000 range per agreement, though earlier 2010 awards ranged more widely from $13,172 to $124,896.
The most recent solicitation (G15AS00051) closed April 14, 2015, and targeted state agencies and higher education institutions. No subsequent opportunities are evident in the source material. Program activity appears to have concluded or entered indefinite suspension.
