(deadline for letters of intent is November 9, 2005)
GeoConnections is pleased to release its first Announcement of Opportunity under its renewed mandate. The program is now soliciting proposals to develop online mapping portals or stand-alone applications that access geospatial data and information in real time from distributed sources over the Internet. The applications must make use of standards endorsed by GeoConnections and technologies that form part of the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI).
Applications should support decision making in the following issue areas:
- Public Health: Facilitating disease surveillance or population
health analysis
- Public Safety: Facilitating emergency management and response
or critical infrastructure protection
- Environment/Sustainable Development: Facilitating integrated
land/marine management, including land/water-use planning, environmental
assessment, and indicator monitoring
- Aboriginal Issues: Facilitating land and resource management or community planning
Proposals will be accepted from government departments or agencies (local, provincial/territorial, or federal), Aboriginal organizations, Crown corporations, academic institutions, private sector organizations, or non-government organizations.
