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

The STATEMAP program is a national program that provides funding to state geological surveys to develop geologic maps and associated products. The program aims to establish a national geologic framework through the development of three-dimensional geologic map databases. The program is open to state geological surveys, and proposals must be submitted by the state geological survey or a university on behalf of the state geological survey. The program requires a 1:1 federal/state funding match, and the total budget for the proposal cannot exceed $300,000. • The program will support the development of geologic maps and associated products, such as derivative maps and geologic databases. • The program will require the submission of a proposal, which must include a technical section, a budget, and a data management plan. • The program will support the development of a national geologic framework through the development of three-dimensional geologic map databases. • The program will require the use of the GeMS standard for all newly published STATEMAP-funded maps. • The program will support the development of modern infrastructure, such as highways, bridges, and pipelines, by providing information necessary for the exploration of aggregate resources and building materials.
