Go to Category: **1 2 3 4 5 6**
**Category 1: Metadata Trainer and Outreach Assistance** provides assistance to organizations with NSDI expertise knowledge and experience in assisting other organizations with the training and implementation of metadata, clearinghouse or web mapping services. Up to $25,000 per project, 4 projects. Category Lead - Sharon Shin.
George Mason University Joint Center for Intelligent Spatial Computing (CISC)Fairfax, Virginia Phil YangSonoma Ecology CenterSonoma, California Deanne DiPietroInnovate!, Inc.Alexandria, Virginia Jessica ZichichiNorthern Arizona University Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research Flagstaff, Arizona Neil Cobb**Category 2: Best Practices in Geospatial Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)**In support of the goals of the Geospatial Line of Business (LoB), the effective design and deployment of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) using Web Services will determine the success of shared access to geospatial data and applications. This category seeks joint proposals from federal government and industry leaders to design, deploy, and document reusable geospatial services and applications using SOA. Solutions are sought that satisfy multi-agency requirements through the modeling and deployment of business processes through related data and service components. Documentation of implemented best practices is required to identify and educate federal agencies on the issues of design, implementation, and application for use in future government-wide services associated with the Geospatial LoB. Up to $100,000 per project, 3 projects. Category Lead - Doug Nebert.

Virgin IslandsTheresa Anduze-Parris**Category 4:** **Joint Canadian and United States Spatial Data Infrastructure Project** will stimulate cross-border cooperation over a geographic area through the use of connected, distributed data and services. The themes of interest are Public safety and security (situational awareness, management of consequence, and critical infrastructure identification) and Aboriginal and Native American peoples (land and resource management or community planning). Up to $75,000 per project, 1 award. Category Lead - Milo Robinson.
Carbon Project Burlington, Massachusetts Jeff Harrison
**Category 5: Building data stewardship for The National Map and the NSDI** will focus on fostering stewardships for either structures data or for transportation data through best business practices. Primary needs for structures data are the geospatial location, classification, and other characteristics of manmade facilities, based on homeland security requirements. Primary needs for transportation data are updates for features, attributes, and geometry to the baseline roads data developed through Census MAF/TIGER Accuracy Improvement Project (MTAIP) sources. The data will be part of a national data inventory of consistent, seamless, integrated data that is continuously improved through the incorporation of data updates from the data community. Up to $50,000 per project, 4 awards. Category Lead - Paul Wiese.

**Category 6: FGDC-Endorsed Standards Implementation Assistance and Outreach (excluding Metadata Standards)** will provide funding to organizations to assist in the implementation of FGDC- endorsed standards (excluding metadata standards, see category 1 above). For many FGDC-endorsed standards, there are few, if any, resources that guide organizations in implementing standards. Without resources that document best practices, provide experienced advice, and new techniques, the implementing organization has a steep learning curve. Up to $50,000 per project, 4 awards. Category Lead - Julie Binder Maitra.
