FY26 3DNTM Data Collaboration Announcement opening date and deadlines
Guidero, Elaine M
Hi all, although this is similar to the previous notice I sent about the DCA webinar, this is the official announcement about the opening date of the DCA and first-round funding deadlines.
Note that the DCA opens on the same day as the webinar, August 6th.
The 3DNTM Data Collaboration Announcement (DCA) for Fiscal Year 2026 opens on August 6, 2025!
The Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM) Data Collaboration Announcement (DCA) for the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) and the 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) is coming soon. The 3DNTM initiative aims to update, enhance, and integrate USGS elevation and hydrography data to meet rigorous scientific standards and support data-driven decision-making across various user communities. The DCA offers a way to partner with the USGS and other Federal Agencies to obtain high-quality 3D Elevation or 3D Hydrography data, providing the Nation with high-resolution topographic products for a wide range of applications.
The initial deadline for project submissions is September 12, 2025. Project submissions received after the deadline will be considered for review after initial project selections are made. The FY26 3DNTM DCA will remain open until no remaining FY26 funds are available for obligation.
Additional information, instructions, and application materials will be available from the DCA Portal at https://www.usgs.gov/3DNTM/DCA.
Best,
Elaine
