Mineral Resources External Research Program (MRERP)

archived

The Mineral Resources Program (MRP) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity to universities, State agencies, Tribal governments or organizations, and industry or other private sector organizations that have the ability to conduct research in topics related to non-fuel mineral resources. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 this has been expanded to include uranium. The total amount of funding available for the FY 2011 MRERP is expected to be $255,000. As of the posting date of this announcement the Federal appropriations process for FY 2011 was not complete. The actual MRERP funding available will be determined when the appropriations process for FY 2011 is complete. If changes are required because of the appropriations process, notice will be distributed by the same means as this notice. If no further notice is received, the dates and amounts reported here should be taken as firm. If the available funding remains $255,000, the MRP anticipates making awards in FY 2011 for 3 to 5 proposals submitted under this program announcement, however, individual proposals are not restricted to a set level of funding. Work performance under these awards must be completed no later than one year from the start date. The start date will be determined by the timing of funds availability and the signing of the award contract.
