Data and Information
The Data and Information category provides funding links to Web sites focusing on collecting, analyzing, and disseminating data, metadata, and spatial data. These links are organized in three groups:
Additional NOAA Funding | Other Federal Agency Funding | Nonprofit
Funding
Additional NOAA Funding
- The Cooperative Institute
for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology (CICEET) is a joint partnership
between NOAA and the University of New Hampshire. CICEET uses the capabilities
of the university and those of the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve,
as well as the other 24 reserves in the National Estuarine Research Reserve System
(NERRS) to develop and apply new environmental technologies and techniques. CICEET
funds research projects that address high-priority issues facing today's coastal
and estuarine resource managers.
Other Federal Agency Funding
- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National
Environmental Information Exchange Network Grant Program is a program designed
to encourage state and other partners' data-integration efforts. Funding will
be provided through grants to states, the District of Columbia, trust territories,
and federally recognized Indian tribes for capacity-building capabilities.
- The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) is an interagency committee that
promotes the coordinated use, sharing, and dissemination of geospatial data on
a national basis. The FGDC provides seed money to regional consortia through the
Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP) to help establish the National
Spatial Data Infrastructure.
- The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Web site maintains current opportunities
for Contracts
and Grants
Information in the area of hazards, data and information, and more. Check
out USGS, grants and federal assistance, to find information on the forms required
and guidelines for submitting unsolicited proposals.
Nonprofit Funding
- The Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) Conservation
Program offers sources of technical and other assistance to create and develop
spatial analysis, computer mapping, and geographic information systems (GIS) capabilities
among nonprofit organizations and individual projects of all sizes and types worldwide.
