Jkt 235001
This notice concerns the collection of
information that is sufficient and
relevant to evaluate and select proposals
for funding under the NGGDPP. We will
accept proposals from State geological
surveys requesting funds to (1)
inventory, assess, and preserve the
condition of geoscientific collections
and individual physical samples, (2)
create metadata for individual samples
and collections, (3) create or update
digital infrastructure, including data
migration to contemporary formats to
assure data are not lost due to recording
media degradation or changing data
recording formats or software programs;
and (4) rescue data at risk. Financial
assistance will be awarded annually on
a competitive basis following the
evaluation and ranking of State
proposals by a review panel composed
of representatives from the Department
of the Interior, State geological surveys,
academic institutions, and the private
sector. To submit a proposal,
respondents must complete a project
narrative and submit the application via
www.grants.gov. Grant recipients must
complete a final technical report at the
end of the project period. Narrative and
report guidance is available through
https://datapreservation.usgs.gov and at
