metadata documentation, clearinghouse establishment, framework development, standards implementation, and geographic information system (GIS) organizational coordination.Since 1994, the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) has funded projects that advance the NSDI in partnership with the geospatial data community.
The FGDC, now as part of the new National Geospatial Program Office (NGPO), will continue to support these projects.
All applicants are required to submit the proposals using the Federal Government's http://www.grants.gov Web site for electronic submission.

A proposal received after the closing date and time will not be considered for award.
