About this file
This is a geospatial data instructions attachment for a cooperative agreement solicitation from the U.S. Geological Survey's North Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The funding opportunity supports research on environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling to evaluate detection efficacy of Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) populations in the Hawaiian Islands, with the CESU partner responsible for co-developing sampling design, conducting field sampling from palm tree trunks, and performing laboratory assays including technical replicates. The research aims to inform monitoring program design for Department of War biosecurity and port monitoring initiatives, with collaborative analysis and interpretation of data between the CESU partner and USGS scientists. This work falls under USGS Research and Data Collection (CFDA 15.808), which supports diverse scientific investigations through cooperative agreements with academic institutions, state geological surveys, and non-profit organizations, typically ranging from $40,000 to $500,000 with performance periods of one to five years.
The specific attachment document referenced contains geospatial data instructions; however, the actual content and detailed requirements of this attachment are not provided in the submitted materials. To fully understand the geospatial data submission requirements, deliverables, format specifications, and any associated timelines, the complete text of the Attachment D document would need to be reviewed.

Geospatial Requirements:
The Geospatial Data Act of 2018 outlines specific requirements for federal recipients when collecting or producing geospatial data using Department of the Interior financial assistance funds. Here’s a summary of the key points:
· Due Diligence Search: Federal recipients must first check the GeoPlatform.gov list of datasets to see if the needed geospatial data, products, or services already exist.
· Use of Existing Data: If the required data is already available, recipients must use it rather than producing new data.
· Production of New Data: If the needed data is not available, recipients must produce new geospatial data, products, or services in accordance with guidance and standards established by the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC), which can be found at www.fgdc.gov.
· Submission Requirements: Recipients must submit a digital copy of all GIS data produced or collected under the award to the relevant bureau or office.
· Data Format: All GIS data files must be in an open format.
· Metadata Requirements: All delineated GIS data (such as points, lines, or polygons) should be compliant with approved open data standards and include complete feature-level metadata.
These requirements ensure that geospatial data is managed efficiently, used appropriately, and made accessible in a standardized format for future use and sharing. open data standards with complete feature level metadata.
2 CFR 1402.315 Availability of Data
(a) All data, methodology, factual inputs, models, analyses, technical information, reports, conclusions, valuation products or other scientific assessments in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual, resulting from a financial assistance agreement is available for use by the Department of the Interior, including being available in a manner that is sufficient for independent verification.
(b) The Federal Government has the right to:
(1) Obtain, reproduce, publish, or otherwise use the data, methodology, factual inputs, models, analyses, technical information, reports, conclusions, or other scientific assessments, produced under a federal award; and
(2) Authorize others to receive, reproduce, publish, or otherwise use such data, methodology, factual inputs, models, analyses, technical information, reports, conclusions, or other scientific assessments, for federal purposes, including to allow for meaningful third-party evaluation.
