State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) was created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The SLCGP goal is to help state, local, and territorial governments to address cybersecurity risks and threats. In Kansas, the SLCGP is being administered by the Kansas Information Security Office (KISO). All requirements and program guidance are established in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).
