Synopsis
NIST invites proposals from current MEP Centers or consortia of Centers to provide outreach, education, and technical assistance to U.S. manufacturers who supply products within supply chains for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and who must implement adequate cybersecurity protections as required in the supply of products to the DoD. The primary goal of the work to be conducted via an award issued pursuant to this NOFO is to leverage the expertise of MEP Centers to assist defense manufacturers, with an emphasis on small-to-medium sized contractors, in implementing cybersecurity protections needed to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) being handled in defense manufacturing supply chains. (See Section I. of this NOFO for additional information concerning this program.)
Eligibility
Eligible applicants for this funding opportunity are MEP Centers or consortia of Centers receiving current cooperative agreement base funding from NIST. NIST requires the submission of project proposals involving participation from multiple MEP Centers. Proposals may also include the participation of other collaborating entities such as local economic development organizations, universities, community colleges, technology incubator programs, private third-party service providers, and other organizations. A MEP Center may serve as the lead MEP Center applicant on only one (1) proposal. There are no restrictions on the number of applications in which a MEP Center may serve as a project collaborator. There are no restrictions on the number of MEP Centers that may be listed as participating in any individual proposal. (See Section III.1 of this NOFO for more information regarding program eligibility.)
