Geodetic Surveys and Services (Geodesy and Applications of the National Geodetic Reference System)

 

Two programs exist in this CFDA: A.The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is a program office within the National Ocean Service (NOS) that provides the authoritative coordinate system for all positioning activities in the Nation. Known as the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), NGS authoritative coordinate system defines latitude, longitude, height, gravity, and shoreline information, which supports a wide range of important activities, including mapping and charting, navigation, transportation, infrastructure, flood risk determination, national security, and environmental observations. NGS also develops industry guidelines, specifications, and standards and provides training for surveyors, mapping professionals, scientists and other users of the NSRS. B. Joint Ocean and Coastal Mapping Centers are authorized in the Ocean and Coastal Mapping Integration Act to advance the purposes of the Acts including research and development of hydrographic technologies necessary to ensure safe and efficient navigation; research and development of innovative ocean and coastal mapping technologies, equipment, and data products; mapping of the United States Outer Continental Shelf and other regions; data processing for nontraditional data and uses; advancing the use of remote sensing technologies, for related issues, including mapping and assessment of essential fish habitat and of coral resources, ocean observations, and ocean exploration; and providing graduate education and training in ocean and coastal mapping sciences. The goals of this financial assistance listing are 1. To conduct research in the field of geodesy and improve applications of geodesy and the National Spatial Reference System 2. To improve the techniques and technology of geodetic and hydrographic surveys and related data, products, and services 3. Extend the National Spatial Reference System into areas not adequately covered to meet infrastructure needs. 4. To educate and provide outreach to the public on applications of geodesy, hydrography and related data products, and services

Federal agencies or institutions and foreign governments may not be the primary recipient of awards under this announcement, but are encouraged to partner with eligible applicants when appropriate. For Joint Ocean and Coastal Mapping Centers, only Institutions of higher education may apply Institutions of higher education, State government, local government and Indian tribal governments. An official of the State, local, municipal, university and/or regional agency should certify as the official authorized, in accordance with State, local, municipal, or regional agency law, to commit the State, local, municipal, university and/or regional agency to participate in the grant program, to sign project documents, and to receive payments. For the JHC, an approved official of the selected university should certify the application to commit the university to participate in the cooperative agreement and to receive payments in accordance with 2 CFR 200. Preapplication coordination is required. This program is eligible for coverage under E.O. 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs." An applicant should consult the office or official designated as the single point of contact in his or her State for more information on the process the State requires to be followed in applying for assistance, if the State has selected the program for review. Executive Order 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs," applies to this listing for Geospatial modeling, but not for Joint Centers 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards applies to this program. Federal Funding Opportunities for this listing will be posted on Grants.gov. Application packages should be submitted through www.grants.gov. The Grants.gov site contains directions for submitting an application, the application package (forms), and is also where the completed application is submitted.
