The Nebraska state committee for the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program has advanced all 3 ESU-related proposals for funding. The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) received approval of the project worksheet for year 1 projects and is waiting for funds to be transferred to the state. When the funds are received, NEMA will send award notifications to the sub-grant recipients. The year 2 application window is open for applications now through February 4, 2024. The emphasis for projects in year 2 is improving detection and response capabilities to cyber threats. The application forms are very similar to the year 1 forms. The state committee will host a webinar for application questions on January 16, 2024 at 2:00 PM. |
