- The National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis is an independent
research consortium dedicated to basic research and education in geographic
information science and its related technologies, including geographic
information systems (GIS). The three member institutions are the University of
California, Santa Barbara; the University at Buffalo; and the University of
Maine. The consortium was formed in 1988 to respond to a competition for
funding from the National Science Foundation, and continues to receive much of
its funding from that source. Total funding to the consortium amounts to
approximately $5 million per year.
