The NSDI consists of policies, standards, agreements, and partnerships among a variety of sectors and disciplines that promotes more cost-effective production, ready availability, and greater use of high quality geospatial data. Three separate but related programs constitute the FGDC Partnership Funding Programs: the NSDI Cooperative Agreements Program, the NSDI Benefits Program, and the NSDI Framework Demonstration Projects Program. The Cooperative Agreements Program funds projects focused on promoting metadata collection and creating clearinghouses of geographic data linked to the Internet, developing NSDI standards, advancing the NSDI through education, and organizing and strengthening State-wide or regional programs for geographic data sharing. The Benefits Program funds projects that assess the qualitative or quantitative benefits of using a shared data resource to solve particular problems over a given geographic area. The Framework Demonstration Projects Program funds projects that demonstrate technical, operational and business capabilities to collaboratively create and maintain certain categories of commonly needed ``Framework'' data. Activities initiated under each of the three mentioned programs will promote development and maintenance of and access to data sets that are needed for national, regional, State, and local analyses. Applications must involve partnering between two or more organizations. Applications may be submitted by Federal agencies, State and local government agencies, educational institutions, private firms, private foundations, and Federally acknowledged or State-recognized Native American tribes or groups. Applications from Federal agencies will not be competed against applications from other sources. Participants are expected to cost share in the project.
