The Department of Interior’s USGS Earthquake Hazards Program (EHP) offers this annual grant to support external research in critical areas of seismology. This funding opportunity is specifically designed to advance understanding of earthquake hazards, the fundamental physics of earthquakes, and the patterns of earthquake occurrence. Furthermore, the grant aims to foster research contributing to effective earthquake safety policies, aligning with the Department of Interior’s Secretarial priorities. Authorized by the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977 and its 2018 reauthorization, this initiative seeks to enhance national resilience against seismic events by funding vital research that addresses current challenges in earthquake science and mitigation.
