Dear Colleagues,

The USGS is preparing for the 2019-2020 Broad Area Announcement (BAA) to costshare lidar acquisition with FY2020 appropriated funding. A 2-hour webinar has been scheduled for August 7, 1 pm Eastern (10 am Pacific) so that potential applicants can learn about the program and any changes from preceding years’ guidelines. The webinar will be recorded for anyone who can’t join and/or wants to hear it again, although it likely won’t be available until later in August. 

The direct link to the webinar registration is here:
