The National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) offers the EDMAP grant to cultivate the next generation of skilled geologic mappers. This grant provides crucial funding for undergraduate and graduate student research projects, encompassing all activities vital to creating comprehensive geologic maps that characterize the solid Earth. The NCGMP seeks to enhance the research and educational capabilities of national academic programs. Through these cooperative agreements, the grant supports Earth science students in mastering diverse techniques, including field analysis, geophysical interpretation, borehole data, and remote sensing. This initiative ensures students gain practical experience and broad expertise in advanced geologic mapping. The program has significantly contributed to student development, funding over 1,440 students from 173+ universities.

| Description: | The primary objective of the EDMAP component of the NCGMP is to train the next generation of geologic mappers. To do this, the NCGMP provides funds for undergraduate and graduate student research projects that involve all activities relevant to the creation of geologic maps (defined broadly as all maps that characterize the solid Earth and/or its constituents). Through these cooperative agreements, the NCGMP hopes to expand the research and educational capacity of national academic programs that teach Earth science students the broad range of techniques relevant to geologic mapping and the analysis of field, geophysical, borehole, and remote sensing data. As of 2023, EDMAP has funded more than 1,440 students from more than 173 universities. |
