This program by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) aims to fund pilots for online identity solutions that align with the Identity Ecosystem Steering Group’s Framework. The solutions should enable online access to government services, provide verified digital identities with multi-factor authentication, and ensure interoperability with other federations. Applicants are encouraged to contribute to the development and adoption of the Identity Ecosystem Framework. The closing date for applications is February 18, 2016.

| Description: | NIST is soliciting applications from eligible applicants to pilot online identity solutions that embrace the Identity Ecosystem Steering Group’s (IDESG) Identity Ecosystem Framework (IDEF). Specifically, identity solutions must: 1. Enable online access to one or more state, local, or tribal government service(s). 2. Provide for a federated, verified digital identity that enables multi-factor authentication and an effective identity proofing process meeting the risk needs of the service(s). 3. Aligns with the Identity Ecosystem Framework Requirements. 4. Allow for interoperability with other federations in use in the public and private sectors. NIST encourages pilots that maximize their contribution to the ongoing development and adoption of the Identity Ecosystem Framework, the OpenID Foundation iGov Working Group, and other public fora. |

| This announcement is being modified by posting Amendment 2. | Jan 20, 2016 | |
| NIST is issuing this amendment (Amendment 1) to the FFO to make one (1) change. This change specifically corrects the range for the number of points a Full Application may receive for the evaluation criteria titled “Strength of Authentication Approach” in Section V.2.a.(3) from (0 to 10 points) to (0 to 15 points). This correction ensures the total number of points a Full Application may receive for the evaluation criterion given in Section V.1.a. Quality of the Planned Technical Solution is (0 – 60 points) as described in the published FFO on December 18, 2015. | Jan 20, 2016 | |
