Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS FA 18 0074
This funding opportunity is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) notice of intent to make a single discretionary grant to support the National Research Council Mapping Science Committee, which operates under the National Academy of Sciences. The committee is positioned as a bridge between the federal government and the wider mapping and geospatial community, bringing together perspectives from state and local governments, academia, and the private sector. The overall purpose is to maintain and strengthen that forum for technical exchange and coordination on mapping science priorities that affect how spatial data is produced and used across the country.
The project focus centers on research and convening around key mapping science and geospatial data issues. This includes examining scientific and technical challenges in the collection of spatial data and how those data are integrated across sources, shared among organizations, mined or analyzed for insights, and visualized in ways that improve decision-making. It also includes tracking and assessing policy and program developments that shape the use of spatial data in both research and operational contexts, such as how agencies and partners manage access, standards, governance, and practical use of geospatial information.
Another major emphasis is improving coordination among the many organizations involved in spatial data life cycles, especially entities that collect, disseminate, and archive geospatial datasets. In practice, this kind of work often involves identifying gaps in collaboration, recommending approaches for interoperability and shared infrastructure, and encouraging alignment on standards and best practices so that spatial data can be more easily discovered, combined, and reused across jurisdictions and sectors. The committee is also expected to address the evolving hardware and software ecosystem that supports spatial data and related services, which can include platforms, tools, architectures, and service delivery models that enable modern geospatial workflows.
In addition to technology and coordination, the opportunity highlights the people-side of mapping science by emphasizing human resources and education. That means attention to workforce needs, training pathways, and educational priorities that help ensure agencies and partners have the expertise required to manage and apply spatial data effectively. Taken together, the grant supports a broad agenda that mixes technical topics (data, systems, visualization) with organizational and societal needs (policy, coordination, workforce development), reflecting how central geospatial information is to natural resource management and many other public and private activities.
