This NIST grant is for piloting innovative online identity solutions, enhancing individuals’ and organizations’ access to government services. It seeks applications aligned with the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) vision, promoting secure, efficient, easy-to-use, and interoperable credentials that foster confidence, privacy, choice, and innovation. The program emphasizes solutions adhering to NSTIC Guiding Principles: privacy-enhancing, voluntary, secure, resilient, cost-effective, and interoperable. NIST will fund projects that test or demonstrate effective solutions not widely adopted, aiming to bridge existing gaps. Applications must detail involvement with at least two government programs, utilize a private credential provider, and explain the solution’s broader replicability to achieve program goals.

| Description: | NIST invites applications from eligible applicants to pilot on-line identity solutions for accessing government services that embrace and advance the NSTIC vision: that individuals and organizations utilize secure, efficient, easy-to-use, and interoperable identity credentials to access online services in a manner that promotes confidence, privacy, choice, and innovation. Specifically, the Federal government seeks to initiate and support pilots that address the needs of individuals, private sector organizations, and all levels of government in accordance with the NSTIC Guiding Principles that identity solutions will be (1) privacy-enhancing and voluntary, (2) secure and resilient, (3) interoperable, and (4) cost-effective and easy-to-use. NIST will fund projects that are intended to test or demonstrate the effectiveness of solutions for enabling individuals to better access government services that either do not exist or are not widely adopted in the marketplace today. To demonstrate that the solution meets the programs goals, NSTIC will be looking for the following characteristics in applications:
i. At least two government programs, including state-administered human services programs, which will use the trusted credential; |
