Annual Competitive Grants
The USGS Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program provides federal assistance to state, territorial, local, and Tribal governments to reduce the loss of lives and property from landslides and improve public safety and community resilience. The federal assistance is authorized through appropriations to the USGS to provide grants, on a competitive basis, to research, map, assess, and collect data on landslide hazards.
During the application period the USGS solicits project proposals for competitive grants to support landslide risk reduction efforts including communication, planning, coordination, mapping, assessments, and data collection. The organizations eligible to apply are state, territorial, local, and Tribal governments. State geologic surveys or other state offices organized under a state university system are also eligible. Eligible applicants must submit proposals and other required documents through Grants.gov; paper copies will not be accepted. Please note that the requirements and other guidance for submitting proposals, as wells as annual updates of research priorities, referred to as the Program Announcement, can only be accessed through grants.gov.
