About this file
This document is an Amended Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Regional Alliances and Multistakeholder Partnerships to Stimulate (RAMPS) Cybersecurity Education and Workforce Development program. The amendment, dated 5/12/25, specifically updates the indirect cost rate provision in Section IV.2.a.(8) from 10 percent to 15 percent for applicants. The change allows organizations without a negotiated indirect cost rate to elect a de minimis rate of 15 percent of modified total direct costs (MTDC), which must be noted in the budget portion of the application.
The NOFO is issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Science, Technology, Business and/or Education Outreach Federal Grant Program (CFDA Number 11.620). The program aims to establish community-based partnerships to develop cybersecurity career pathways that address local workforce needs by organizing multiple employers to focus on developing skilled workforce within a local or regional economy. Applicants will submit cooperative agreements to create effective multistakeholder workforce partnerships that can bridge skill shortages in specific cybersecurity occupations.
