* This page, Massachusetts Geospatial Framework Grant, is offered by * MassGIS (Bureau of Geographic Information) * Introduction and Background ## Introduction and Background The Massachusetts Geospatial Framework grant program offers matching funds to advance the geospatial framework for the Massachusetts Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI).
The MSDI is administered by MassGIS on behalf of the enterprise of Commonwealth public bodies and for the benefit and use of all organizations and residents in Massachusetts. The Framework grant funds should assist in creating, revising, stewarding, or making Framework data more accessible. The intent of this grant program is to enhance and improve the infrastructure necessary to provide Framework data for use by all.
Infrastructure in this context includes Framework data and the resources, technology, and processes required to develop and maintain those data. The focus of the program will be government organizations that have struggled to develop and/or maintain that infrastructure.
It is hoped that this program can provide seed capital for those organizations that will enable them to stand up the infrastructure, then maintain it on their own going forward, either individually or in collaboration with other organizations. While these grants are intended to be limited to an organization for a single fiscal year, future funding may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
The deliverables for a grant award will be Framework data in one of two categories described in this document. Foundational Framework data themes are the major building blocks of other data elements in other data themes. The _primary_ Foundational Framework data themes are geodetic and other survey control, elevation data, orthoimagery, and bathymetry.
There is also a group of _secondary_ Foundational Framework data themes. They are defined as entirely dependent on one of the primary Foundational Framework themes and are the reference base for eight or more other Framework data themes.
Primary and secondary Foundational Framework data themes are indicated as such in the diagram below All funding in this first year will be for Foundational Framework data projects in the following secondary Foundational Framework data themes: Details of how MassGIS will evaluate the applications, the application template, and instructions on how to submit an application are available in the full Application for Grant Funds document.
