Program Funding
STATEMAP and EDMAP funds are distributed through annual competitive grants programs that require matching funds from the applying states or universities. FEDMAP funds also are distributed through a competitive process. Although the National Geologic Mapping Act authorizes up to $64 million for the Program each year, Congress has enacted between $20 and $30 million. The distribution of these funds among the three components is determined by a formula. Figure 1 shows a comparison between the authorized and enacted budget for the Program since 1998. Figure 2 shows the amount of funding for each component from 1993 to 2005.
