For State Geological Surveys that are organized within a State university system, those universities may submit a proposal on behalf of the State Geological Surveys.To qualify for STATEMAP funding, a State Geological Survey must have a State Mapping Advisory Committee (or equivalent) that meets at least annually. This committee shall advise the State Geological Survey on geologic mapping priorities within the State.State Geological Surveys must commit to match 1:1 of the total direct costs and may request no more than 18% of Federal indirect costs.To qualify for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 STATEMAP funding, a State Geological Survey previously funded under STATEMAP must follow requirements specified in previous STATEMAP Program Announcements and awards and must have no delinquent deliverables.Failure to meet previous award requirements will be grounds for ineligibility or penalty in the review process; see Attachment H, Section E.1, DOI Financial Assistance Award General Terms and Conditions, (reference to 2 CFR 200.339 through 200.343 "Remedies for Noncompliance").
About this opportunity
The primary objective of the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) is to establish the geologic framework of areas determined to be vital to the economic, social, or scientific welfare of individual States and the Nation. The State Geologist/Survey Director/Chief Scientist (or similar position) shall determine mapping priorities in consultation with a multidiscipline State Mapping Advisory Committee (SMAC). These priorities shall be determined on the basis of: (1) State requirements for geologic map information in areas of multiple issue need or areas of compelling single-issue need, and (2) State requirements for geologic map information in areas where mapping is required to solve critical earth science problems. Priorities are not dependent on pa...
