NSDI Cooperative Agreements ProgramThe NSDI Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP) is an annual program to assistant the geospatial data community through funding and other resources in implementing the components of the NSDI. This program is open to Federal, State, local and tribal governments, academia, commercial, and non-profit organizations. This program provides small seed grants to initiate sustainable on-going NSDI implementations. The program emphasizes partnerships, collaboration and the leveraging of geospatial resources in achieving its goals. Some of the activities supported by the CAP include:
Starting in 2004 the FGDC, Geospatial One-Stop and the USGS National Map programs are jointly sponsoring the CAP program. These three programs are national geospatial programs with Federal leadership that share the common goal of building the NSDI. The objective is to develop a model incentives program that will encourage other federal programs to participate in upcoming years to take advantage of partnerships, leverage resources and provide a more efficient process for applicants.
