The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program (EHP) is offering this annual grant opportunity to support external research in critical areas. This initiative aims to fund projects focusing on earthquake hazards, the fundamental physics of earthquakes, their occurrence, and the development of effective earthquake safety policies. This grant is for the purpose of advancing scientific understanding and practical applications that directly contribute to mitigating seismic risks. It also seeks to address the Department of Interior’s Secretarial priorities, aligning with the mandates of the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977 and its 2018 reauthorization. The program is committed to fostering research that enhances public safety and preparedness against seismic events.
