The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is offering this grant to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of innovative identity solutions used to access government online services. This grant is for assessing pilot projects that align with the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) vision, which promotes secure, user-friendly, and interoperable online credentials while safeguarding privacy and fostering innovation. The primary purpose is to gather knowledge and insights from these evaluations, enabling broader adoption of trusted online credentials across government services. The initiative aims to inform policymakers and the public, enhancing the security and efficiency of digital transactions and advancing the overall NSTIC goal of more secure online interactions for citizens.

| Description: | NIST invites applications from eligible applicants to evaluate the benefits and impacts of 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. These identity solutions will be awarded through the Federal Funding Opportunity 2013-NIST-NSTIC-02, NSTIC Pilots: Trusted Online Credentials for Accessing Government Services Cooperative Agreement Program. The funding for these pilots and their evaluation is provided by the OMB Partnership for Program Integrity Innovation. Specifically, the Federal government seeks to support evaluation of these pilots for their benefits to the government entities involved and to the users of those government services and to enable adoption of online credentials more broadly for government services. By advancing the knowledge gained by the pilot projects and disseminating broadly to policymakers, state agencies, and the public, the evaluation will assist in moving forward the NSTIC goal of providing the public with more secure online transactions. This cooperative agreement program seeks to support non-Federal efforts to examine identity solution methods and increase public knowledge about the potential effectiveness of various approaches to identity solutions in government services. |
