STATEMAP - The State Component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program

The National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) is a program that provides funding to state geological surveys to conduct geologic mapping projects. The program aims to establish a national geologic framework through the development of three-dimensional geologic map databases. The STATEMAP component of the NCGMP provides funding to state geological surveys to conduct geologic mapping projects that address the economic, social, or scientific welfare of individual states. • The program is re-authorized annually, and applicants must submit a new proposal each year. • The program requires a 1:1 Federal/State funding match. • Applicants must have a State Mapping Advisory Committee that meets annually to advise on geologic mapping priorities. • Proposals must include a clear and concise introduction, location and geologic setting, purpose and justification, strategy for performing the geologic mapping, preliminary results and prior work, deliverable geologic maps and products, project personnel, and budget explanation and justification. • Proposals must also include a data management plan that describes how the proposal will conform to USGS policy on the dissemination and sharing of research results and associated data.
