NSTIC 2014 Pilot Opportunity Underway!

Share

The NSTIC National Program Office is pleased to announce the kickoff of a third round of NSTIC pilot projects – providing another opportunity for stakeholders to support the President’s strategy to improve the privacy, security, and convenience of online transactions through innovation in the emerging Identity Ecosystem. The new Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) announcement has been posted; for details, click here. Pilots have been an integral part of the NSTIC implementation plan, with NIST looking to fund pilot solutions that can demonstrate material advances in identity and authentication and build a stronger foundation for the Identity Ecosystem. The NSTIC 2014 pilot funding opportunity builds on the successful launch in 2012 and 2013 of twelve NSTIC pilot projects, cumulatively awarded over $18 million in funding.  For more information on previous year winners, click here. NIST will hold an Applicants’ Conference in the Washington, D.C. area on January 31st from 1:30 to 3:30 Eastern Time at NIST's Main Campus, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20899. This Applicants’ Conference will also be available as a webinar. The conference will be in Lecture Room A on the first floor of the Administration Building (Building 101). Pre-registration for the Washington Applicants’ Conference is required by 5:00 PM EST January 27, 2014. Due to increased security at NIST, all attendees MUST be pre-registered; NO on-site registrations will be accepted. No registration fee will be charged. Registration for both the public meeting and the webinar is at:  http://www.nist.gov/itl/nstic-public-meeting.cfm. NPO staff will be on hand to review the FFO and take questions. We were thrilled by the overwhelming show of interest in the NSTIC Pilots opportunity last year, as well as the wide array of innovative ideas that were submitted. We look forward to reviewing your proposals!  - The NSTIC National Program Office
