Known as the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), NGS’ authoritative coordinate system defines latitude, longitude, height, gravity, and shoreline information, which supports a wide range of important activities, including mapping and charting, navigation, transportation, infrastructure, flood risk determination, national security, and environmental observations. NGS also develops industry guidelines, specifications, and standards and provides training for surveyors, mapping professionals, scientists and other users of the NSRS. The goals of this financial assistance listing are 1. To conduct research in the field of geodesy and improve applications of geodesy and the National Spatial Reference System 2. To improve the techniques and technology of geodetic and hydrographic surveys and related data, products, and services 3.
