Opportunity Information: Apply for 2020 NIST NICE 01
The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) K12 Cybersecurity Education Outreach Program is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to strengthen and expand cybersecurity education outreach for primary and secondary (K-12) communities. The core purpose is to support NICE activities that connect and serve the broader K-12 cybersecurity education ecosystem, with a major emphasis on sustaining a national convening point for educators, program leaders, and stakeholders. A central deliverable of the program is the planning and management of the annual NICE K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference, to be hosted within the continental United States, with support anticipated for up to the next five years. In practice, this means the award recipient would be responsible for organizing the conference year after year, shaping programming that advances K-12 cybersecurity education, and coordinating with NIST and NICE leadership to ensure the event aligns with national workforce and education goals.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on partnership between the federal sponsor and the recipient than a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, the recipient still leads day-to-day execution, but NIST expects substantial involvement in coordination, guidance, and collaboration to ensure the work supports the NICE mission. The opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA number 11.620. The funding opportunity number is 2020 NIST NICE 01, and the title is explicitly focused on K-12 cybersecurity education outreach, signaling that proposed work should be outward-facing and community-building rather than limited to internal program operations.
Eligibility is intentionally broad and open to all non-Federal entities. Eligible applicants include accredited institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit organizations incorporated in the United States, as well as state, local, territorial, and Indian tribal governments. NIST also allows foreign public entities and foreign organizations to apply, which widens the pool beyond domestic applicants, even though the conference itself is expected to be held in the continental U.S. At the same time, individuals and unincorporated sole proprietors are not eligible because they do not meet the definition of a non-Federal entity under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Federal entities cannot receive funding under this NOFO, but they are allowed to participate as unfunded collaborators, meaning they can contribute expertise or partnership without being paid through the award.
Key administrative details included in the source information are the creation date of April 3, 2020, and an original closing date of June 1, 2020. The listing does not provide an award ceiling or the expected number of awards in the provided fields, so the maximum potential award size and how many recipients NIST expected to fund are not specified in the excerpt. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as NIST seeking a capable organization to serve as a long-term conference and outreach backbone for NICE at the K-12 level, building connections across educators and stakeholders and helping sustain national momentum around cybersecurity education in schools.Apply for 2020 NIST NICE 01
