The NSO Integrated Synoptic Program (NISP) is a program of the United States National Solar Observatory that provides long-term synoptic observations of the Sun to the international research and operational space weather communities. The program was established in 2011 and operates two facilities, the Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) and the Synoptic Optical Long-term Investigations of the Sun (SOLIS).

NISP observations and data products include near real-time magnetograms, H-alpha full-disk imaging, helioseismic measurements of the solar interior, far-side activity maps, and synoptic magnetic field maps.

Headquarters for program management and data processing are in Boulder, Colorado. NISP is part of NSO, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation.
