Another message from our friends at USGS:
Hello All,
Tomorrow is the big day! The USGS FY26 Data Collaboration Announcement (DCA) will open for submissions starting tomorrow August 6, 2025.
If you would like more information on the DCA process please join us for an informational webinar Wednesday August 6, 2025, 1-2 pm ET.
This webinar will provide an overview of 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). The 3DNTM is an initiative that updates, improves, and integrates USGS elevation and hydrography data to support the most demanding scientific requirements and enable data-driven decisions across user communities. The DCA provides a mechanism for partnering with the USGS and other Federal Agencies to acquire high-quality 3D Elevation or 3D Hydrography data to provide the Nation with high-resolution topographic products to support a broad array of applications.
Information on the 3DNTM DCA and how to join the webinar can be found at: https://www.usgs.gov/3DNTM/DCA
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
