Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS FA 18 0039
The grant opportunity titled "Notice of Intent: Earth Science Week: Earth as Inspiration" is a discretionary grant notice issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), within the Department of the Interior. It signals the agency's intent to make a single award in support of Earth Science Week 2018, an established national outreach effort led by the American Geological Institute (AGI). Earth Science Week is described as one of the premier public engagement and education initiatives in the geoscience community, with events and coordinated activities taking place across all 50 states. These activities are hosted and supported by a wide range of partners, including science agencies, universities, museums, and other science-focused organizations, all working to increase public awareness and appreciation of Earth science.
The specific focus for the 2018 program is the theme "Earth as Inspiration," which emphasizes connecting Earth systems and geoscience learning to the arts. The planned resources and activities are aimed especially at young people, but the initiative is broad enough to engage educators, families, and the general public. By framing Earth science through creativity and artistic expression, the project intends to help participants explore how landscapes, natural processes, Earth materials, and environmental change can inspire art while also providing approachable entry points into scientific concepts. The overall mission, as stated in the notice, is to engage students in discovering the Earth sciences, reinforce the idea that Earth science is present in everyday life, encourage stewardship of the planet through better understanding, and motivate geoscientists to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with their communities.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number "USGS FA 18 0039" and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with CFDA Number 15.808. The funding instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of $48,000 and an expectation of one total award, reflecting that this is not a broad competitive program but rather a targeted support action for a specific effort. The eligible applicant category is identified as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," and the description indicates that the intended recipient is AGI. The notice was created on May 30, 2018, with an original closing date of June 13, 2018, which effectively defines the window associated with this intent to award.
In practical terms, this funding is designed to help sustain and deliver a coordinated national Earth Science Week campaign for 2018, including the development and distribution of themed educational materials, support for partner-driven events nationwide, and broader outreach that links geoscience with art to make Earth science more relatable and memorable. The grant aligns with public service and education goals by strengthening science communication, improving Earth science literacy, and promoting informed stewardship through engaging, widely accessible programming.Apply for USGS FA 18 0039
