Watch a Grantscast®

It would be hard to miss the media attention dedicated to the data breaches and hacking of high-profile businesses in recent years. The most serious offenders left hundreds of millions of consumers worried about the privacy of their personal information stored online.

Local government agencies carry similar levels of concern for the security of their own data. Public health agencies hold confidential information on patients. Public utility companies maintain payment information for individual homes. Law enforcement officers record names, addresses, and statements of survivors, offenders, and witnesses. Each individual trove of data represents a potential target of foreign and/or domestic hackers. And each must – in turn – be protected by layers of cybersecurity.

Join Grants Office, LLC and Dynamic Systems as we discuss technology solutions and grant funding available for cybersecurity initiatives in local government agencies. We’ll outline funding from a variety of state and federal agencies, detailing how to effectively justify the inclusion of data-security software, network upgrades, consulting fees, and other infrastructure improvements into a grant budget.

Invite your project managers, IT staff, and grant writers to attend this fast-paced and informative grantscast so that your government agency will be prepared against the next big cybersecurity threat!

As a sense of normalcy starts to return to many areas of the country, many public sector agencies are still struggling to rebound. Financial constraints stemming from the pandemic continue to put many important government and education services in peril. The true impact is not measured by lost revenue and other financial indicators, but by the residents and students that continue to suffer and ultimately bear the burden of the pandemic.

Fortunately, funding has started to flow from the American Rescue Plan. While these dollars can be used for COVID response efforts, Congress specifically built-in provisions with an eye towards the future. Much of the funding is aimed at helping government agencies overcome budget shortfalls and ensure students can return to schools while retaining the flexibility offered by remote and hybrid learning environments.

Join Grants Office and special guests from SHI as we explore the various funding sources available and ensure you are armed with the funding tools and strategies necessary to implement your technology-enabled projects. Whether you are with a state or local government, healthcare organization, K-12 school, or institution of higher education, this session will help you make the most of the stimulus funding being made available to your organization.

The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the need for healthcare providers to adopt new communications and connectivity technology to enhance and expand service delivery and improve sharing of critical patient data. At the same time, though, providers’ budgets have been seriously impacted in the wake of the crisis, making outside funding critical to putting these technologies within reach.

Join Grants Office and L3Harris as we review the landscape of funding opportunities that are available to support healthcare communications and connectivity initiatives, how they relate to the recent stimulus appropriations, and tips for making the most of what’s available to fund this much-needed technology.

Each year over $1 billion in grant funding is distributed by federal, state and foundation grantmakers. In addition to this annual money, the federal government has made over $6 trillion in stimulus funds available over the past 16 months. However, simply knowing that the money exists does not bring you any closer funding your community broadband initiative, securing your hybrid learning environment, advancing your smart transportation project, or accommodating providers and patients through telehealth devices.

Over the past year, K-12 districts and charter schools across the country have had to ramp up their digital instruction practice in response to the coronavirus pandemic. With this transition to remote and hybrid learning, many K-12 education providers are also struggling to manage the surge of student and teacher devices as well as the myriad of education-facilitating software applications now utilized to ensure continuity of student learning.

Fortunately, in March, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act which provides an additional $122 billion in funding to K-12 districts and charter schools to address these and other needs.

For many institutions of higher education, research is at the heart of the school’s mission. Usually, projects are funded through research grants to individual researchers and their labs. However, sometimes there are infrastructure and instrumentation needs that go well beyond single projects. Meeting these needs helps the institution’s research move forward, allows for opportunities to train up future researchers, and aids in recruiting new researchers to join the school.

Join Grants Office and Okta as we explore the research infrastructure and instrumentation funding landscape and share tips for making the most of these opportunities to meet the needs of your institution’s researchers.
