NIST’s Standards Coordination Office invites applications for the 2016 Standards Services Curricula Development Cooperative Agreement Program. This Program provides financial support for the development of undergraduate and/or graduate level curriculum to integrate standards and standardization information and content into seminars, courses, and learning resources for U.S. colleges and universities. The recipients work with NIST to strengthen education and learning about standards and standardization. While this Program is not a cybersecurity specific grant opportunity, curricula development that promotes cybersecurity standards would be within scope.

Applications must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, Tuesday, April 5, 2016.  Complete details on the Standards Services Curricula Development Cooperative Agreement Program, including eligibility and details on the application/proposal process, may be viewed at http://gsi.nist.gov/global/docs/Education%20Grants/2016FFO.pdf and http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=281409.
