CFDA#: 15.944 Substantial Cooperation and Involvement by NPS The NPS will play an indispensible role in the development of products described in this agreement. The NPS hold data, images, maps, graphs, and knowledge of plant distribution not easily transferred without a loss in data quality. Thus the NPS will have to partake in the ongoing development of products, the ongoing review of their accuracy, and continuous adjustments to exact product goals based on technical limitations that may not yet be foreseen. Additionally, while the NPS representatives to this agreement possess important skills and knowledge of park resources, Alaska Geographic staff and affiliates possess important skills in determining how to most effectively highlight potentialconnections between resources and individuals, whether they are actual park visitors or virtual web visitors. Thus this agreement draws on the strengths of both partners to produce a product that would otherwise be lacking.
