Annual Affiliate Membership Opportunities
Affiliate membership is the entry level mechanism through which
an interested institution or developing state consortia may begin
participating in AmericaView, Inc. and the USGS AmericaView Program.
StateView program grants are made possible through support from
the US Geological Survey's AmericaView Program. There are two types
of funding opportunities available through the Member Services
Program, annual program maintenance grants (Requests for Continuing Assistance), and new full membership grant (Requests for Assistance). A 15% Indirect Rate applies to both types of grants.
Annual program maintenance grants
Each year, a program maintenance grant is awarded to
each Full Member state consortia. These 12-month awards are
administered directly by AV, Inc. and are renewable on a
non-competitive basis from year-to-year providing satisfactory
performance of StateView program goals is achieved.
New Full Membership grants
In addition, providing sufficient funding is available,
each year the AV Inc. Member Services Program may release a
limited Request for Proposals for new Full Memberships.
Proposals are panel reviewed and competitively awarded.
Collaborative Research and Project Opportunities
AmericaView, Inc. is currently in the process of developing
relationships with various partners to develop a variety of
outreach, service, research, and training opportunities for its
members. As these opportunities develop, descriptive information and
appropriate links will be placed here.
