Opportunity Information: Apply for G17AS00070
The 2018 National Ground-Water Monitoring Network grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G17AS00070) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees should expect an active partnership with USGS rather than a hands-off pass-through of funds. The program sits under the Natural Resources activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.980. The main purpose is to strengthen and expand participation in the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network (NGWMN) by supporting organizations that already collect groundwater data and can contribute those data to the national effort.
At its core, the opportunity is aimed at state and local water-resources agencies that collect groundwater information and are positioned to act as data providers to NGWMN. The USGS is developing and administering the network in coordination with the Advisory Committee on Water Information (ACWI) and its Subcommittee on Ground Water (SOGW). That partnership signals that the network is intended to be nationally coordinated and standards-driven, with data coming from many agencies but organized in a consistent way so it can be used broadly. The funding is specifically described as supporting data providers, which implies work such as preparing, managing, and delivering groundwater monitoring data in forms that can be integrated into the NGWMN framework.
The award period is two years, and individual awards can be as high as $300,000 (the award ceiling). The opportunity anticipated making up to 50 awards, suggesting that the program is designed to bring a large number of monitoring entities into the network rather than concentrating funds in only a few projects. The original posting date (creation date) was August 31, 2017, and the original application deadline was November 30, 2017, so it was a time-limited competitive opportunity for that funding cycle.
In practical terms, this grant opportunity supports the national goal of improving groundwater monitoring and information sharing by helping agencies contribute their groundwater datasets to a unified national network. By funding participation through cooperative agreements, USGS is signaling that technical coordination, data consistency, and ongoing collaboration are central to the work, not just the collection of measurements. This makes the opportunity particularly relevant to agencies that already operate groundwater monitoring wells or groundwater data programs and need resources to align their data and delivery processes with NGWMN expectations and national interoperability needs.Apply for G17AS00070
