Find or Request Presentations on 3DEP, 3DHP and 3DNTM DCA
The 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) and 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) rely on investments from a wide range of stakeholder partnerships to share data acquisition costs in support of mission and business requirements. The 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM) is a new initiative to update, improve, and integrate USGS elevation and hydrography data to support demanding scientific requirements and enable data-driven decisions across user communities. Key elements of the 3DNTM are in place or under active development.
The 3DNTM Data Collaboration Announcement (DCA) provides a vehicle for partnering with the USGS and other Federal agencies to acquire high-quality 3D elevation data or 3D hydrography data.
Federal agencies, state and local governments, Tribes, academic institutions, non-profits, and the private sector are eligible to submit projects to partner with the USGS on the DCA. Applicants to the 3DNTM DCA may contribute funds toward a lidar or hydrography data acquisition via the Geospatial Products and Services Contracts (GPSC), or they may request 3DEP/3DHP funds toward data acquisition where the applicant is the acquiring authority.
National Webinar
The USGS hosts a public webinar each year to introduce the DCA opportunity to the broadest stakeholder community possible and provide a summary of the application process. Each year’s DCA has its own set of unique information. Visit the Data Collaboration Announcement Portal for more information.
