# PART I. Public Law, Program Priorities, and Geologic Map Products

# 

> A. The National Geologic Mapping Act
>
> The 102^nd^ Congress recognized that the USGS and the State Geological
> Surveys needed a coordinated program to prioritize the geologic
> mapping requirements of the Nation, and to increase production of
> these geologic maps. The National Geologic Mapping Act (Public Law
> 102-285) was signed into law in 1992 and created the National
> Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. The Act has been re-authorized
> twice since then, most recently by the 106^th^ Congress in 1999
> (Public Law 106-148). The Act recognizes that geologic maps are the
> primary database for virtually all applied and basic earth-science
> investigations. To read copies of the original act and the two
> reauthorizations, visit: <http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ncgmp/ncgmpabout/>.
>
> The objectives of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program
> (NCGMP) as outlined in the Act are to:
>
> 1\. Determine the Nation's geologic framework through the systematic
> development of geologic maps, such maps to be contributed to the
> National Geologic Map Database.
>
> 2\. Develop complementary national databases (e.g., geophysical and
> paleontologic databases) that provide value-added information to the
> National Geologic Map Database.

3\. Apply cost-effective mapping techniques that assemble and
disseminate geologic-map information, and that render such information
of greater application and benefit to the public.

> 4\. Develop public awareness of the role and application of
> geologic-map information to the resolution of national issues of land
> use management.

B.  EDMAP Component of the NCGMP

> The primary objective of the EDMAP component of the NCGMP is to train
> the next generation of geologic mappers. To do this NCGMP provides
> funds for graduate and selected undergraduate students in academic
> research projects that involve geologic mapping as a ***major***
> component. Through these cooperative agreements NCGMP hopes to expand
> the research and educational capacity of academic programs that teach
> earth science students the techniques of geologic mapping and field
> data analysis. Another important goal is to increase the level of
> communication between the Nation's geologic surveys (both State
> Geological Surveys and the USGS) and geologic mappers in the academic
> community. We hope that this improved communication will have two
> results: 1) that the academic mapping community will learn more about
> the societal needs that drive geologic mapping projects at the USGS
> and State Geologic Surveys, and 2) more geologic maps produced in
> academia will eventually be made available to the public.

####### EDMAP Proposals

> Only one proposal will be accepted from an individual principal
> investigator (Professor or faculty advisor), although more than one
> proposal *will* be accepted from a single university if authored by
> different principal investigators. Although EDMAP awards are intended
> to support student mapping in the field, the student's faculty advisor
> must write the proposal. All proposals should be coordinated with a
> State Geological Survey or with a project in the USGS National
> Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program or other USGS projects that have
> a significant geologic mapping component. (To obtain contact
> information about State Geological Surveys visit:
> <http://www.stategeologists.org/> or see **Attachment H**; to obtain
> contact information for USGS Projects visit: <http://ncgmp.usgs.gov/>
> or see **Attachment I**). As part of this coordination and planning
> process, the method of eventual publication should be discussed very
> early in the planning process. However, receiving EDMAP funds does
> *not* constitute a guarantee publication of any map. ***A written
> letter of support from a State Geologist or USGS Project Chief must
> also accompany all proposals.***
>
> **All proposals will be required to be submitted in hard copy AND
> electronically through grants.gov.** Complete details are provided
> under Part III.

####### Geologic Map Products

> The geologic maps will consist of new data acquired during the award
> period and should be at a scale of 1:24,000 or larger. If smaller
> scale geologic mapping is proposed, it should be well justified. It is
> hoped that students will learn the techniques of detailed field
> mapping, and in most cases reconnaissance mapping and compilation is
> not considered appropriate. Emphasis is on the development of *new*
> geologic maps.
>
> Geologic maps shall be submitted in paper format. *Interim geologic
> maps (end of 1st field season) can be draft \"field sheet\" quality,
> as long as there is clear evidence that the student has made
> significant progress.* A geologic map is defined as a map that depicts
> the geographic distribution at the earth's surface of bedrock and/or
> surficial geologic materials and structures, on a published base map
> showing topography, hydrography, culture, cadastral, and other base
> information. The geologic map generally includes most of the
> following: an explanation, a description of map units and symbols, a
> location index map, a clear and legible base, and cross sections.
> Examples of items or maps that are ***not*** considered appropriate
> substitutes for geologic maps include: structure contour maps, isopach
> maps, stratigraphic and/or facies diagrams, aquifer maps, gravity or
> magnetic anomaly maps, and element-distribution geochemical maps. If
> these types of derivative maps are to be produced, they must be in
> addition to a basic geologic map as described above.

# PART II. Timetables, Eligibility, Format Instructions, and Proposal Evaluation

#####  A. Timetables 

Proposal Announcement Date: September 08, 2005.

> Closing Date and Time for Proposal Submission: November 18, 2005 @
> 3:00 p.m.

######  B. Eligibility - Who May Submit a Proposal

University professors must write and submit the proposals. EDMAP
cooperative grants are intended to fund students doing geologic mapping
in the field. While it is proper for the professors/advisors to ask for
some logistical support so that they may be with their student(s) in the
field for a credible amount of time, the bulk of the award is intended
to support the student's mapping efforts. **EDMAP cooperative grants do
not support faculty salaries.** Masters and Doctoral students of
Geoscience or related Departments at accredited United States colleges
and universities are eligible applicants to the EDMAP Program. In
addition, qualified undergraduate Juniors and Seniors are also eligible.
These undergraduates should have received some basic mineralogy,
petrology and structural geology training prior to the time they will do
the geologic mapping proposed in this proposal.

> **NOTE: Since the timing of proposal submission comes soon after the
> beginning of the school year, we appreciate that it is sometimes
> difficult to identify the student(s) who will do the mapping,
> especially in the case of new Masters candidates. Proposals to be
> submitted that do not identify the actual students who will do the
> mapping will be allowed. *However*, the name and vitae
> (qualifications) of ALL students must be submitted to the USGS, before
> the Office of Acquisition and Grants formally issues the cooperative
> agreement. This should give professors two or more extra months to
> identify student mappers.** **We still hope that *most* students will
> be identified in the original proposals. Finally, even if the name and
> vita of the student(s) is not included in the proposal, it must be
> made clear whether the student is an undergraduate, a Masters
> candidate, or a Ph.D. candidate. Otherwise the Review Panel will not
> be able to determine whether the students are qualified to do the
> described level of work.**
>
> Universities that have been previously funded under EDMAP must be in
> compliance with requirements specified in previous EDMAP awards and
> must have no outstanding deliverables (Geologic maps) due. Failure to
> meet previous award requirements will be grounds for ineligibility.

# C. Proposal Format Instructions

> Arrange your proposal according to the format provided below.
> Following this format ensures that every proposal contains all
> essential information, and is evaluated equitably. If you include a
> cover letter, which is NOT necessary, provide only a single copy and
> do not staple it to the rest of the proposal.)
>
> All proposals shall include the following documents in the order
> listed (from top to bottom).

1.  Standard Form 424, Application for Federal Assistance (**Attachment
    A**). The person who signs the SF-424 in Block 18 must have the
    authority to bind the University to the terms of the assistance
    award.

2.  SF-424B Assurances - Non-Construction Programs (**Attachment B**)

3.  Certifications for Federal Assistance (**Attachment C**).

4.  Negotiated Rate Agreement. (Most States and Universities have a rate
    agreement. They are usually titled "State and Local Rate Agreement"
    or "Colleges and Universities Rate Agreement." The document provides
    the rates approved for use on grants, contracts and other agreements
    with the Federal Government. Some may have an individual audit
    agency review and provide an agreement. It is basically the
    documentation that is used that determines the indirect cost rate
    that is listed on your budget.

5.  Support letter from State Geologist or USGS Project Chief. It is
    highly recommended that discussions occur with, and copies of the
    proposal forwarded to the State Geologists and USGS prior to the
    request of a letter of support. If other organizations are
    supporting this project, letters of support are welcome.

6.  EDMAP Proposal Summary Sheet (**Attachment D**).

7.  Proposal Technical Text. This text must be no longer than 10 pages,
    no smaller than font size 11, and have 1-inch margins. Remember that
    a good figure (graphic) is worth a thousand words, and the Review
    Panel has many proposals to read. The 10-page limit includes *all*
    text, figures, references, and vitae. (The attachments and budget
    sheets are ***not*** included in the 10-page limit.) Exceeding the
    page limit will ***not*** be to your benefit. The text should
    include the following:

    a.  [Introduction]{.underline}. Should be a brief description of
        problem. Particular reference should be made to any earlier
        mapping, or mapping going on nearby at present time. If the
        student has received an EDMAP award in a previous year, results
        of that work should be briefly summarized in a paragraph or two.
        Please state if this project is a significant part of a thesis.

    b.  [Location and geologic setting]{.underline}. Should contain a
        clear index map with scale, latitude and longitude, other
        pertinent information, and exact location of map area. Remember
        that the EDMAP Review Panel does not know the geography of your
        state as well as you do.

    c.  [Purpose and Justification]{.underline}. This main section
        should answer a few important questions. Why are you doing this
        mapping? What important scientific questions may be answered by
        your mapping? What benefits will society enjoy from the mapping?
        Avoid boilerplate or major exaggeration.

    d.  [Strategy for Performing the Geologic Mapping]{.underline}. This
        short section should explain how you plan to achieve the
        scientific results presented in the previous section. If the
        objectives can only be accomplished with the support of
        drilling, or other support investigations such as geochronology
        or geochemistry, please mention them here. Keep in mind that
        most of the budget request should go toward getting the student
        in the field, and that these support investigations should be a
        limited percentage of the overall request.

    e.  [Timetable and mentoring strategy]{.underline}. Provide a
        realistic timetable and approach for completing the mapping
        project. Explain how much time the faculty advisor will spend in
        the field with the student. Will there be any interaction, such
        as a field trip, with representatives from the State Geological
        Survey or USGS? The program considers project review by USGS and
        State Geological Survey partners an important part of EDMAP
        Projects.

    f.  [Deliverables]{.underline}. List all maps, and their scale, that
        will be produced by this project.

    g.  [Project Personnel]{.underline}. Proposed personnel must include
        name of student(s) and supervising professor(s). The Review
        Panel will judge both the qualifications of the professor, and
        the ability of the student to complete the geologic mapping
        project. Students should include prior geologic mapping
        experience (field camp or other mapping projects), and any
        course work that would help significantly in geologic mapping.
        The mentoring faculty should include teaching experience of
        geologic mapping or related courses, prior geologic mapping
        publications, and other geologic mapping experience.

    h.  [Other support]{.underline}. If the student has pending requests
        for support from other institutions, these requests should be
        listed.

8.  Budget Sheets (**Attachment E**). Only one budget sheet per proposal
    is required, but if, for logistical reasons, the budget request for
    one student is significantly different than another student, it
    would be helpful to submit separate budget sheets. Use your common
    sense in determining how much to itemize. If there is an item that
    represents a large proportion of your proposal, the Review Panel
    will want to know some details. Please include a description of the
    cost share (cash vs. in kind). The budget should contain the
    following:

    a.  [Salaries]{.underline}. Include all students. No faculty salary
        allowed.

    b.  [Fringe Benefits]{.underline}. Propose your rates/amounts. If
        rates are audit approved, include a copy of the audit agreement
        and/or the name of the audit agency.

    c.  [Field Expenses]{.underline}. Briefly itemize the estimated
        travel costs (i.e., number of people, number of travel days, per
        diem rate, mileage rate, airfare or other transportation, and
        any other travel costs). **Note: travel to professional meetings
        is not an acceptable expense.**

    d.  [Miscellaneous]{.underline}. Federal EDMAP funds are not
        intended for the purchase of capital equipment, such as
        computers. Matching funds may be used for this purpose, provided
        they are directly related and essential to the project. Itemize
        supplies such as base maps, aerial photographs, petrographic
        thin sections, film, and other field and office supplies. List
        any contractual services and associated costs. This is the
        section to itemize costs that are not identified elsewhere on
        the budget sheet.

    e.  **[Total Direct Charges]{.underline}. Total for items a -- d.**
        **Total direct charges MUST have a 1:1 Federal/University
        match.**

    f.  [Indirect Charges]{.underline}. Show proposed rate and amount.
        Proposals must include a copy of the Indirect Negotiated Cost
        Rate between the institution and the Federal Government.
        **Important Note**: The 1999 Reauthorization of the National
        Geologic Mapping Act (Public Law 106-148) states that the USGS
        and recipients of EDMAP grants shall not use more than 15.25
        percent of Federal funds to pay for indirect, servicing, or
        program management charges. This is equivalent to 18% of your
        total direct costs or charges.

> Regardless of the university's federally negotiated indirect cost
> rate, a university **MUST** show a 1:1 match of the **total direct
> costs** and no more than 18% on the Federal indirect cost line. Up to
> 18% of a university's total direct costs may be used as a university
> match on the university's indirect cost line. Universities with a
> federally negotiated indirect cost rate higher than 18% may not use
> the higher rate to generate an additional university match. If a
> university chooses (or is required) to show a higher than 18% rate on
> the university's indirect cost line, the result will be a higher
> university budget total than the Federal budget total.

g.  [Total]{.underline}. Total for items e and f. NOT TO EXCEED \$15,000
    FOR ONE YEAR, FOR EACH GRADUATE STUDENT AND \$7,500 FOR
    UNDERGRADUATES. (Please note: in FY 2003 graduate student awards
    ranged from \$8,500 to \$15,000. Undergraduate student awards ranged
    from \$5,500 to \$7,500.)

######## D. Proposal Evaluation

> EDMAP proposals will be reviewed by a 10-member panel. Five (5)
> members will be professors. Two (2) members will be State Geologists
> chosen by the Association of American State Geologists. Three (3)
> members will be USGS geologists, including the Associate Coordinator
> for EDMAP who will serve as Chair, and who will choose the other two
> USGS members. All members will serve 3-year terms. The professors will
> act as lead reviewers. No panelist may review, or take part in any
> discussion with other panel members, prior to or during a panel
> meeting, a proposal that originated from her/his university, or for
> which other potential conflicts are recognized.
>
> Evaluation Criteria. All proposals for funding will be considered
> using criteria outlined below. Each reviewer will complete an
> evaluation form for each proposal reviewed, and these forms will
> become part of the official proceedings of the review panel meeting. A
> summary of the review panel comments will be provided to the principal
> investigators for all proposals reviewed. The criteria are:
>
> **1.** **Coordination.** Does the proposal show that the faculty
> advisor and student geologic mapper have planned their mapping project
> in consultation with the appropriate State Geologist or USGS Project
> Chief? What is the degree of this coordination? (15 points)
>
> **2.** **Justification.** Will the proposed geologic mapping project
> answer any significant scientific questions, either pure or applied?
> Does the mapping project attack a problem that has any significant
> societal value? (15 points)
>
> **3. Technical quality of the Proposal.** Are the scientific
> objectives clearly stated? Are the figures easy to read and clearly
> explained. Does the proposal stress what is important and new? Does
> the proposal address how the student will obtain necessary support
> data, such as paleontologic or geochemical information, if that data
> is critical to the success of the geologic mapping? Is the student
> capable of accomplishing the objectives stated, and in the time
> allowed? (40 points)
>
> **4. Reasonableness of the Budget.** Is the proposed budget
> commensurate with the level of effort required to accomplish the
> objectives? Is the cost reasonable relative to the anticipated
> results? Are non-Federal funds or in-kind services available to *at
> least equally match* the requested Federal funding amount. (For
> example, this could consist of documentation showing salary paid or
> intended to be paid to graduate student for any work relating to the
> field project. In addition, university stipends for RA (Research
> Assistant) work paid to the student for any work related to the
> research project during the year can be used as the university match.
> Alternatively, match can be shown as money paid to undergraduate field
> assistants during work on the research project.) Is the budget
> designed primarily to get the student into the field to conduct the
> geologic mapping? Is the amount of money budgeted to support the
> faculty advisor modest and reasonable? (15 points)
>
> **5.** **Mentorship**. Does the proposal show that the faculty advisor
> will be spending adequate time advising the student on geologic
> mapping techniques and other aspects of the project? Does proposal
> provide details on mentoring? (15 points)

###### PART III. Proposal Delivery and Submission Instructions 

Applicants are held responsible for their proposals being in the USGS
Office of Acquisition and Grants **and** entered into grants.gov by
November 18, 2005 @ 3:00 p.m. A proposal received after the closing date
and time will not be considered for award. If it is determined that a
proposal will not be considered due to lateness, the applicant will be
so notified immediately. All packages entering the USGS facility are
subject to inspection and/or x-ray. Proposal packages may be delivered
by hand to the address given below. The Office of Acquisition and Grants
will accept hand delivered proposals daily, between the hours of 8:00
a.m. and 4:15 p.m., except Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal holidays.

All proposals will be required to be submitted in hard copy **and**
electronically through grants.gov. All grant programs are required to
use grants.gov to advertise proposals. Since everyone prepares proposals
in digital format, it should not be an onerous task. Most of the
required attached forms can be prepared online. Any form that is not
available online may be submitted as attachments at the end of the
proposal. If you have not registered in grants.gov you are to visit the
website [www.grants.gov](http://www.grants.gov/) and get started in the
registration process. It takes several weeks to have the registration
certified. Once at the website, choose "Get Started" and work through
the first 5 steps. This will make the proposal submission in November
easier. Each agency/organization will need to choose a "Credential
Provider", usually within the Office of Sponsored Programs who will have
the authority to sign off or approve the proposal for submission (only 1
allowed). Once the Credential Provider is set up then the PI's can go
into the system to register and submit the proposal. In order to
complete the SF 424 forms, **everyone** will have to download the free
software "pure edge viewer" which is step #2. It should be pretty simple
if you follow the steps under the "get started" tab, however, if you
have any questions or problems with the registration process please
contact the grants.gov help desk at 1-800-518-4726.

Since the review process will not change this year, you will still be
required to send an original and 10 copies of Standard Form 424,
Negotiated Rate Agreement, Letter of Support from State Geologist or
USGS Project Chief, Proposal Summary Sheet, Proposal Technical Text, and
budget sheets to the Office of Acquisition and Grants. **BOTH the hard
copies and the electronic version must be submitted by the deadline date
and time to be considered for award.**

Please submit **ONE** stapled original proposal and **TEN** stapled
copies, including attachments to following address:

C. Rights in technical data

The U.S. Government may publish, reproduce, and use all technical data
developed as a result of this assistance award in any manner and for any
purpose, without limitation, and may authorize others to do the same.
The Program Coordinator agrees to contact the authors of any EDMAP
product for review and coordination in the release of technical data.
Full credit for authorship will be given. Every effort to protect the
scientific integrity of newly gathered data will be made by the EDMAP
Program Coordinator.

###### D. Publication

> 1\. Publication of any map produced under EDMAP is contingent upon
> final acceptance by the State Geologist and USGS *and is not based on
> having received an award*. Publication may be in conventional format
> in paper copy, reproducible mylar or similar material, and electronic
> format as digital files on computer readable disk or CD-ROM.
> Guidelines for publication of digital map products can be found at:
> <http://ncgmp.usgs.gov/ngmdbproject/standards/dataexch/guidelines.html>.
> Maps with explanatory information submitted to journals, professional
> organizations, or commercial firms, for publication shall be
> accompanied by the following notation:

\"This map and explanatory information is submitted for publication with
the understanding that the United States Government is authorized to
reproduce and distribute reprints for governmental use.\"

2\. A copy of each map with all accompanying explanatory information
shall be submitted to the Project Officer simultaneously with its
submission for publication. If a map has been prepared as an electronic
digital data file (or files), the cover letter accompanying the maps
should state how a copy of these files could be obtained if needed by
either the USGS or state geological survey. One reprint of each map
shall be submitted to the Project Officer immediately following
publication. One reprint should also be sent to the appropriate state
geological survey.

> 3\. Program credit. All geologic maps resulting from any project
> carried out under this assistance award resulting wholly or in part
> from the cooperative agreement will bear the following credit
> statement in the map header, on the title page of an accompanying
> explanatory text, and in the acknowledgments that accompany the map or
> any resulting report: **Support (or partial support) provided by the
> U.S. Geological Survey, National Cooperative Geologic Mapping
> Program**.
>
> 4\. Disclaimer. All maps and explanatory text submitted for
> publication by professional societies or commercial firms shall carry
> the following notation:

\"The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the
authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the
official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S.
Government.\"

E. Funding

1\. The EDMAP program is designed to be carried out on a 1:1 match.
Recipients shall match each Federal dollar with a non-Federal dollar
**(direct and indirect costs)**. The non-Federal share may be
contribution of funds or services. Such services can include those
related to the student research project or cash provided to contractors.
The source(s) of the university contribution must be listed in the
proposal. The matching requirement must be met annually. If other
non-Federal funds are used as match, a letter or item of evidence should
be included with the proposal to support these funds.

2\. USGS funds cannot be used for the purchase of equipment.

> 3\. Funds for the 2006 National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program
> and in turn, EDMAP funds will not be available until enactment of USGS
> appropriations. Student awards will be made in the form of cooperative
> agreements to the supervising faculty member and the institution.
> Within the total award, a maximum of 15 percent of total direct costs
> may be included for support of the supervising faculty member. Student
> mapping projects may last up to two years; awards are only issued one
> year at a time, and a proposal must be submitted for competition in
> the second year. **Funding for the first year does not guarantee
> funding in the second year.** A new proposal must be submitted for the
> second year. We anticipate issuing awards in the spring of 2006.

4\. If a university or college has been awarded a cooperative agreement
for several students, and one or more of those students are unable for
any reason to do their geologic mapping project, those funds awarded to
the student(s) must be forfeited, and cannot be reallocated to the
remaining students doing mapping at that institution.

> **[SPECIAL NOTE:]{.underline}** A cooperative agreement issued by the
> USGS Office of Acquisition and Grants, signed by the USGS Contracting
> Officer, obligates USGS funds. Notification of a successful proposal
> does not constitute authority to incur costs. Costs incurred prior to
> receipt of a signed cooperative agreement will be at the risk of the
> university. Once the cooperative agreement for a successful proposal
> has been signed by the USGS Contracting Officer, the university may
> incur costs.

###### F. Project Deliverables

> All geologic map deliverables should be sent to the following address
> before the last day of the performance period:
>
> Randall Orndorff, Associate Program Coordinator
>
> U.S. Geological Survey
>
> 908 National Center
>
> 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive
>
> Reston, Virginia 20192.
>
> ***To make filing easier, we would appreciate it if you folded the
> maps so they will fit in a standard size (10" X 13") manila
> envelope.***

Maps and explanatory information must be (at a minimum) legible ozalid
or large-format Xerox copies made from scale-stable reproducible
topographic base maps. However, digitally produced colored geologic maps
are preferable. First year or interim map products can be of \"in
progress\" or \"field sheet\" quality, but field data and other map
information should be included so an evaluation of the progress of the
project can be made.

> At the time the map and accompanying explanatory information are
> submitted to the Associate Program Coordinator, a copy should be sent
> to the appropriate State Geological Survey for their files.
>
> Requests for **no-cost extensions** shall be forwarded to the
> Contracting Officer for consideration not later than 30 days prior to
> the requested effective date; and, shall be forwarded so as to be
> received in the Office of Acquisition and Grants at least 30 days
> prior to the expiration of the agreement. Requests for extensions
> (including late deliverables) will be handled on a case-by-case basis
> by the Contracting Officer.
