AI Contract Overview

The United States Geological Survey's National Research Program in Hydrological Sciences is partnering with Chevron Energy Technology Company through a Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) to advance analytical methods for mineral analysis in shales and related rocks. This collaboration aims to develop innovative tools that integrate X-ray diffraction and chemical techniques to enhance quantitative mineral characterization. This effort is focused on fundamental and applied research to address complex hydrologic challenges by creating new methodologies supporting integrated scientific solutions. This agreement is distinctive in that it is not a traditional procurement; instead, both USGS and Chevron contribute resources such as funds, equipment, and in-kind services to the research endeavor. The contract is managed by the Department of the Interior’s Office of Acquisition Grants, with administrative oversight based in Reston, Virginia. Contact points are provided for in-depth scientific and technology transfer inquiries, reflecting a commitment to collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Full Description

The United States Geological Survey, (USGS) National Research Program (NRP) in the Hydrological Sciences conducts fundamental and applied research on complex hydrologic problems to develop new techniques and methodologies that can support integrated science solutions. USGS NRP is entering into a Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) with Chevron Energy Technology Company to develop analytical tools that combine X-ray diffraction and chemical methods for quantitative analysis and characterization of minerals in shales and in related rocks. This is not a procurement, the partners in a CRADAs contribute funds, equipment and in-kind services to the research effort. For more information on the science effort contact Dennis D. Eberl, NRP Boulder, CO, +1 (555) 000-0000; email: contact@example.gov. For information on Technology Transfer mechanisms contact Julia M. Giller, Technology Transfer Office, +1 (555) 000-0000 ext. 3034 or contact@example.gov.
