About this file
This is an instruction document for geospatial data submission requirements related to a USGS Cooperative Agreement opportunity focused on developing and testing hydrodynamically based, passive ichthyoplankton samplers for detecting invasive carp eggs and larvae in rivers. The research addresses the need for early detection technologies to help state and federal agencies throughout the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Basins control the spread of invasive carp species (bighead, silver, grass, and black carp) that have proliferated since escaping into waterways in the 1980s. The funding opportunity is limited to participating partners of the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) and operates under USGS Research and Data Collection (CFDA 15.808), which has obligated $1.52 billion across 6,281 awards since October 1995, with recent cooperative agreement awards ranging from $10,000 to $2.73 million.
Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov using Standard Form 424, with preapplication coordination required. Award notification occurs through receipt of a grant or cooperative agreement from a USGS contracting officer, with review and evaluation conducted by USGS scientists based on scientific excellence and relevance to USGS mission objectives. Funding is available only to the extent permitted by available funds. All recipients are subject to 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, as well as Department of the Interior regulations under 2 CFR Part 1402. The specific geospatial data attachment addresses data submission protocols and formatting requirements for applicants to meet the grant's technical specifications.

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.
