The Educational Component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (EDMAP) is a grant program that provides funding for undergraduate and graduate students to participate in geologic mapping projects. The program aims to train the next generation of geologic mappers and increase the production of geologic maps. The program is open to U.S. universities with geoscience or related departments or programs. Proposals must include a detailed cover sheet, a mentored field experience, and a letter of support from the State Geologist or a USGS Project Lead. The program provides funding for up to $35,000 for graduate students and $25,000 for undergraduate students. The program requires a 1:1 Federal/Institution funding match. • The program is open to U.S. universities with geoscience or related departments or programs. • Proposals must include a detailed cover sheet, a mentored field experience, and a letter of support from the State Geologist or a USGS Project Lead. • The program provides funding for up to $35,000 for graduate students and $25,000 for undergraduate students. • The program requires a 1:1 Federal/Institution funding match. • The program aims to train the next generation of geologic mappers and increase the production of geologic maps.
