About this file
This is an instructional attachment document providing guidance on geospatial data submission requirements for the Cooperative Agreement for affiliated Partners with the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The document establishes technical and procedural standards for applicants and awardees submitting geospatial datasets related to passive bat acoustic monitoring research and Bayesian statistical methodology development. The file serves as a template and procedural guide rather than substantive programmatic information, detailing data formatting requirements, submission protocols, metadata standards, and quality assurance procedures that must be followed when delivering geospatial products to the U.S. Geological Survey under this cooperative agreement mechanism.
Applicants and awardees must adhere to the geospatial data standards outlined in this attachment to ensure compatibility with USGS data management systems and interoperability requirements. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory for all geospatial deliverables associated with research focused on species occurrence mapping, relative abundance estimation, and environmental predictor analysis across the bat monitoring network. The attachment functions as an operational reference document supporting the broader cooperative agreement objectives under CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), which funds research complementary to USGS program efforts in biological resources and monitoring infrastructure.

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.
