What is the NSDI CAP?

The NSDI Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP) is an annual program to assist the geospatial data community through funding and other resources in implementing the components of the NSDI. This program is open to 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:

  • Standards implementation through guide development and training
  • Participation in the Clearinghouse and Geospatial One-Stop Portal
  • Implementing OpenGIS Web Mapping and Web Feature Services
  • Demonstrating to Federal business managers the value of incorporating geospatial approaches into business processes
  • Establishing participation in The National Map
  • Building organizational collaboration and cooperation among organizations

Learn more about the CAP through the NSDI Training pages.

The FGDC is supporting international Global Spatial Data Infrastruture (GSDI) with its contribution to the GSDI Small Grants Program. The program has been available since 2003 and its goals are same as the NSDI CAP but the focus is on developing countries around the globe.
