Description
The State Component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (STATEMAP) is a program that provides funding to state geological surveys to conduct geologic mapping activities. The program's primary objective is to establish the geologic framework of areas determined to be vital to the economic, social, or scientific welfare of individual states and the nation. The program supports the development of a national geologic framework through the generation of 2D and 3D geologic map databases.
Some key aspects of the program include:
* The program is open to state geological surveys, which must submit a proposal outlining their mapping priorities and proposed projects.
* The program provides funding for a variety of activities, including new detailed mapping, derivative mapping, subsurface geologic data, and geologic map compilations.
* The program requires a 1:1 federal/state funding match, and the total proposal request may not exceed $800,000.
* The program has a number of guidance criteria that proposals must meet, including the creation of new geologic maps, derivative maps, and subsurface geologic data.
* The program also has a number of requirements for proposal format and content, including the submission of a proposal summary sheet, budget sheets, and a project abstract summary.
