NSDI Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP)
FGDC OS will not be soliciting projects for FY2013 or FY2014. A result of budget reductions and sequestration, the Federal funding portion of this cost-share program is no longer available. Active projects will continue to be supported through their scheduled completions. 2014 would have marked the 20th anniversary of this long-standing collaborative cost-share program between Federal and non-federal partners to advance the nation’s spatial data infrastructure. FGDC OS official announcement is on the FGDC website http://www.fgdc.gov/grants

NSDI Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP)
Since 1994, 707 awards representing over $22 million in Federal funding.Matched by over $14 million in funding from State, county, local, and tribal government academia, professional consortiums, non-profit, and private sector organizations.Many repeat awardees represent active NSDI partners.CAP has helped lay the foundation and provide the guidance for advancing the NSDI. Truly national in scope, cooperative agreements were executed by all 50 States, 2 territories, the District of Columbia, 8 tribal governments, and universities in 38 States. Categories adapted regularly to align with priorities and current initiatives – 45 categories to date.Foundational categories were consistently available: standards development, implementation, education, and outreach; metadata, data clearinghouses; and data services. In only the past seven years, over 2,600 persons have been trained in metadata alone; all CAP developed training materials are available online, to all.
