The National Spatial Data
Infrastructure Cooperative Agreements Program (NSDI CAP) is an
annual program sponsored by the FGDC to assist the geospatial data
community through funding in implementing the components of the
NSDI. The program is open to State, local and tribal governments,
academia, commercial, and non-profit organizations and 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.
Since the funding level is limited, organizations must compete to
be awarded funds.
