The $1 billion State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program is the first federal cybersecurity-focused program that provides funds for governments to invest in their cybersecurity infrastructure. This historic funding is an incredible opportunity for states, local governments, and territories to address cybersecurity risks and threats that can disrupt the critical services they provide their communities. States will receive funding from the federal government and must pass at least 80% of their allocation down to local governments to support their cybersecurity projects. In order to optimize your government’s chance of accessing these funds, it’s crucial to begin thinking now about your cybersecurity needs and to know the types of information you’ll need to gather as these funds become available.

Join Grants Office, with special guests Carahsoft, Okta, and Amazon Web Services, as we discuss this exciting new funding opportunity. We’ll provide an overview of the program, discuss the way funds will flow from states to local governments, and explain what next steps you can take to prepare for this program. If your government is looking to find funds for its next cybersecurity project, you won’t want to miss this event!

Building research capacity is a major interest of many institutes of higher education. Most research funding is focused on individual researchers and their specific projects. However, infrastructure and instrumentation needs, such as those for high-performance computing (HPC), often go well beyond a single project. Institutions should focus on meeting these needs to provide opportunities to build their research capacity and provide research-related education opportunities.

Join Lenovo and Grants Office, LLC as we review the funding for HPC and research infrastructure. We’ll cover the most popular funding agencies and grant programs and tips for developing competitive applications. If you are interested in building your institution’s HPC capabilities and its research capacity, you won’t want to miss this event!

As part of the cybersecurity awareness month, we are hosting a series of Grantscasts to discuss cybersecurity grant opportunities across the globe.

Faced with allocation deadlines, public sector institutions and not-for-profit healthcare organizations are seeking ways to responsibly invest stimulus dollars to better serve communities. While some deadlines extend into 2024, other stimulus funds must be spent over the next few months. However, many agencies are struggling to decide on the right technology investments, while trying to understand all the spending rules and the various deadlines based on the funding source.

To help guide you through this process, the Grants Office has partnered with Logitech to share best practice use cases on maximizing stimulus funds and establishing a grant funding strategy for K-12, higher education, healthcare, and government IT projects.

This timely and informative session will provide you with the latest deadline information and rules so you can spend your stimulus funding with confidence. Most importantly, discover how you can take advantage of the Logitech Grants Support Program to access grant experts and develop a grant-seeking plan for your immediate and long-term needs.

The federal government enacted the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) in November 2021, creating the first federal grant program exclusively aimed at improving the nation’s cybersecurity. That program, the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program, will provide $200 million across the country in federal fiscal year 2022 for state, local, and tribal cybersecurity projects. Institutions of public education and public health may also be eligible in partnership with their state or local government.

This webcast will offer advice to governments interested in applying to the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program. We will cover the basics of this new program, provide the latest updates, and explain how you can best prepare to apply. Additionally, we will go over how K-12 school districts and public colleges and universities can play a role in these cybersecurity projects.

Research is one of the main goals of any academic, especially within science and engineering fields. Yet, securing sufficient funds to enable research activities may feel like an epic task in its own right. Grants may be the main mechanism for faculty research funding, but even for veteran researchers, the process can be overwhelming.

Join Grants Office as we review the federal funding landscape of research-enabling grants in this webinar sponsored by HP, AMD, and Microsoft. Discover the top federal agencies for research funding and their current priorities. We’ll also provide tips to make your research interests “grant ready” and submit your next grant application as a principal investigator (PI).

As a special thank you, after the event, you’ll receive our exclusive whitepaper which covers the research funding landscape and how you can maximize your competitiveness as a PI.

While issues of digital equity and access are not new, the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated disparities throughout the United States. There are digital access grant opportunities available for school districts, institutes of higher education, and government agencies to help bridge the digital divide.
