Abstract
Research and monitoring findings are
essential to fulfilling USGS’s
responsibility under the Earthquake
Hazards Reduction Act to develop
earthquake hazard assessments and
recording and reporting earthquake
activity nationwide. Residents,
emergency responders, and engineers
rely on the USGS for this accurate and
scientifically sound information.
Respondents to Program
Announcements submit proposals to
support research and monitoring related
to earthquake hazard assessments,
earthquake causes and effects, and
earthquake monitoring. This
information is used as the basis for
selection and award of projects meeting
the USGS’s Earthquake Hazards
Program objectives. Final reports of
research and monitoring findings are
required for each funded proposal;
annual progress reports are required for
awards of a two- to five-year duration.
Final reports are made available to the
public at the Web site http://
earthquake.usgs.gov/research/external/.
