About this program
The U.S. Geological Survey (Department of the Interior) manages the National Spatial Data Infrastructure Cooperative Agreements Program (CFDA 15.809) to fund projects that build infrastructure for discovering, accessing, sharing, managing, and using digital geospatial data, with the most recent grant award issued on September 1, 2012—fourteen years ago.
This program is no longer active. Grant awards have not been disbursed since 2012, and no recent grant opportunities are currently posted. During its active period from 2001 through 2012, the program made 288 awards at an average rate of approximately 20 to 24 awards annually in its final years. The combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $9.3 million, with recipients contributing an additional $11.3 million in non-federal matching funds, bringing total obligated dollars to $20.6 million.
The USGS was the sole funding agency across the portfolio. Awards were predominantly Cooperative Agreements (168 awards, 58 percent) paired with Project Grants (120 awards, 42 percent). Recent awards funded activities including metadata standards documentation and implementation, statewide geospatial inventory system expansion, cadastral and parcel data business planning, and training and outreach for geospatial standards compliance. Representative recent awards include $617 thousand to automate tabular data using the Geocommons platform (Project Grant, 2009), $180 thousand for New Hampshire NHD geo-synchronization network framework data exchange (Project Grant, 2010), and approximately $40 thousand to Iowa, Nevada, Maryland, and Minnesota recipients for business plan development on statewide parcel data, orthoimagery, and cadastral framework initiatives (Cooperative Agreements, 2011–2012). Most awards ranged from approximately $15 thousand to $50 thousand, though larger awards reached into the six figures.
Organizations pursuing federal geospatial infrastructure funding should not pursue this program; no new solicitations are anticipated.
Objective and description
- Objective
The purpose of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure Cooperative Agreements Program (NSDI CAP) is to fund innovative projects in the geospatial data community to build the infrastructure necessary to effectively discover, access, share, manage, and use digital geospatial data. The NSDI consists of the technologies, policies, organizations, and people necessary to promote cost-effective production, ready availability, and greater utilization of geospatial data among a variety of sectors, disciplines, and communities. Specific NSDI CAP areas of emphasis include: documenting, implementing, and providing outreach standards including metadata; expanding geographic information coordination across and between organizational levels; promoting geospatial best practices; advancing geospatial related Web services; framework development; and clearinghouse establishment. The results of the awarded projects benefit multiple Federal agencies as well as the overall geospatial community
