Proposals


In accordance with the Associate Director of Operations memorandum of
June 22, 1998, explaining the Human Resources Initiatives (HRI) Program
for fiscal year 1999, we are providing all employees with the Proposal
Application and criteria that are needed for developing and submitting
project proposals under next year's program.  They can be found at the
following website:  http://www.usgs.gov:8888/ops/hro/hri/hrimemo.html


You may submit proposals for activities that fall in one of three HRI
categories:  (1) recruitment and retention; (2) lifelong learning; and
(3) volunteerism.  Each of these categories is distinct and you will need
to refer to the specific criteria in order to ensure that you develop a
complete proposal.  Please note that HRI funding for salaries is
available only under the U. S. Geological Survey's Science Internships
for Workforce Diversity program, formerly known as the Minority
Participation in the Earth Sciences program, and the Department's
Diversity Intern program.  In every other instance, HRI funding may not
be used for salaries or overhead.  


Proposals must be received in the Human Resources Office, Mail Stop 601,
Reston, Virginia, no later than September 15, 1998.  To be considered,
proposals must have appropriate management endorsement, which is
explained on the application form.  Each category's proposals will be
evaluated by a separate impartial panel, and the results will be
announced when HRI funding becomes available.  


If you have questions about the proposal process, you may call Susan
Wells in the Human Resources Office at (703) 648-7452.
