FY23 USGS Community for Data Integration Request for Proposals
Dear CDI Member:
Please join the Community for Data Integration (CDI) in developing the next advances in USGS data integration and management!
Our annual proposal process showcases and selects ideas to solve data challenges and implement new technological innovations. Project teams may be awarded up to $55,000 per project.
The CDI Request for Proposals provides a forum for communicating, collaborating, and learning from peers across disciplinary and organizational boundaries.
The CDI continues in its second decade as a vibrant community, now with more than 2,000 members from all USGS mission areas and regions, as well as other government agencies, universities, non-profit organizations, and industry. Participants collaborate to increase their skills in working with data and to deliver breakthrough methods and tools.
CDI projects improve our collective knowledge about creating better, longer lasting, and more accessible science products by leveraging the tools, methods, and datasets available to USGS science communities. Projects that build capabilities with the potential to scale to broader audiences are especially encouraged to apply.
Recent examples include a field deployable mapping tool, methods for detecting anomaly predictions in time-series data, modernizing sensor data workflows, community data standards development, and making forecast data more accessible and usable.
|
In FY23, the CDI executive sponsors are encouraging proposals that address the following theme:
Increasing connection, readiness, and equity
of climate-related data and models.
This includes topics on water management, impacts of climate extremes, ecosystem impacts, climate adaptation, conservation, carbon management, clean energy, and emissions mitigation.
|
Examples of relevant projects include those that:
-
Create connections between currently siloed data sources with each other, or with modeling tools, in a way that can be replicated for additional data and models.
-
Demonstrate the process and value of transforming existing data into a format that is more readily analyzed in a programmatic and repeatable way.
- Pilot ways of making data and model interpretations more accessible to groups that don’t traditionally consume them.

Brief statements of interest are welcomed for submission, and due by Friday, October 14, 2022 at 5 pm ET.
See the proposal site* or the attached Guidance Document for more details.
CDI RFP Information Session
You are invited to an information session Wednesday, September 14 at 3 pm ET.
This session will cover tips and lessons for participants from previous years, the two-phase RFP process, community voting, evaluation criteria used to select proposals, and this year’s RFP theme. Attendance is strongly recommended for anyone planning to submit a statement of interest.
The meeting will be recorded for those that cannot attend and the recording will be posted on the GS-CDI Recordings Microsoft Stream channel*.
