The 1999 National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP) awards were announced at the National GeoData Forum in June of 1999. This year’s program is devoted to projects that will further framework data documentation and clearinghouse development. It builds upon the expertise that has been developed in the community. It represents a new level of participation—participants and communities helping themselves and others. The participants in this program will develop metadata for existing framework data, collect framework metadata, serve metadata through new or existing clearinghouse nodes, or provide or coordinate training or technical assistance. The 1999 "Don't Duck Metadata" Program will fund 95 projects for a total of approximately $1,800,000. These projects will involve over 240 federal, state and local government, and private and academic organizations nationwide. The list of awardess is arranged by the states in which their offices are located.
