About this file
This file is an attachment providing geospatial data instructions for applicants to the Cooperative Agreement for affiliated Partners with Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The attachment outlines technical requirements and procedures for submitting geospatial data as part of proposals for research assessing in-situ fluorometry detection of invasive carp milt in Mississippi River Basin and Great Lakes waterways. The research aims to develop early detection technologies for spawning activity of invasive carp species (bighead, silver, grass, and black carp) to support state and federal agency control efforts across the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Basins.
The funding opportunity is administered by the USGS under Assistance Listing 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection) and is restricted to participating partners of the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov using Standard Form 424, with preapplication coordination required. The program is governed by 2 CFR Part 200 and Department of the Interior regulations 2 CFR Part 1402. Applicants should submit geospatial data following the specific instructions contained in this attachment to support their technical proposals regarding invasive species detection methodologies.

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.
