The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP) managed by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Office of the Secretariat (OS) will not be soliciting projects in FY2013 or FY2014. As a result of sequestration budget impacts, the Federal funding portion of this cost-share program is no longer available. We recognize the announcement for this decision for FY2013 is delayed; this was done in order to explore all perceived options prior to canceling this year’s announcement. Active projects will continue to be supported through their scheduled completions. 2014 would have marked the 20th anniversary of this long-standing collaborative cost-share program between Federal and non-federal partners to advance the nation’s spatial data infrastructure.
