USGS Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program Announcement for Fiscal Year 2026
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The U.S. Geological Survey’s Landslide Hazards Program is offering a FY2026 grant under the Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program to help state, local, Tribal, and territorial governments reduce landslide risk. Projects may support hazard mapping and assessment, planning and coordination, education and outreach, or Alaska-specific landslide hazards, and universities may apply on behalf of eligible state geological surveys or other state offices. Proposals must address at least one guidance criterion and will be evaluated on technical merit, societal benefits, applicant experience, and budget reasonableness, with federal geospatial data standards applying and long-term monitoring, capital improvements, and pre-award expenses unallowable. The program provides $1,000,000 in total funding, expects about 10 awards ranging from $10,000 to $250,000, and gives priority to proposals with at least 50% non-federal match. Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by June 8, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. ET after SAM.gov registration.
Eligible Applicants
This Notice of Funding Opportunity is open to state, Tribal, territorial, and local governments. A university may submit a proposal on behalf of a state geological survey or other state office if they are organized under a university system. Direct any questions about eligibility to the USGS Project Officer.
