Sunshine Act Meetings, 22467-22468 [2021-08917]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 28, 2021 / Notices threats and other security considerations. LSC anticipates awarding one large-scale, capacitybuilding TIG to complete this work at the national level. Applicants should plan on engaging IT security experts to help provide these services to LSCfunded providers across the country. (2) New and innovative solutions to address information security. These projects will introduce new and innovative approaches to address security challenges. While the TIG program cannot support basic security infrastructure—LSC grantees must use funding from field grants and other sources to cover these critical expenses—it can support new technologies or methods that enhance security for one or more legal services providers. This might include deploying new machine learning technology to prevent phishing and other intrusions or using a cloud or automated service to continually assess overall IT posture. Applicants in this category should explain how they are using new technologies and methods to enhance security and how these innovations would be replicable by other LSC grantees. (3) Security Assessments in Technology Improvement Projects. Applicants eligible for a Technology Improvement Project can add up to $10,000 to their funding request to ensure that security is adequately evaluated as part of an IT assessment. Please note that Technology Improvement Projects do not require a pre-application—LSC will open the application system for these projects by June 15, 2021. jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES D. Funding Categories 1. General Technology Initiative Grants Projects in this category (1) implement new or innovative approaches for using technology in legal services delivery; (2) enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of existing technologies so that they may be better used to increase the quality and quantity of services to clients; or (3) replicate, adapt, or provide added value to the work of prior technology projects. This includes, but is not limited to, the implementation and improvement of tested methodologies and technologies from previous TIG projects. We also encourage replication of proven technologies from non-LSC funded legal aid organizations as well as sectors outside the legal aid community. LSC recommends a minimum amount for funding requests in this category of $40,000, but projects with lower budgets will be considered. There is no VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:17 Apr 27, 2021 Jkt 253001 maximum amount for TIG funding requests that are within the total appropriation for TIG. All applicants in this category must submit a preapplication according to the process and requirements outlined in this notice. 2. Technology Improvement Projects LSC recognizes that grantees need sufficient technology infrastructure in place before they can take on a more innovative TIG project, and this grant category is for applicants that need to improve their basic technology infrastructure. Only LSC grantees that have not received a TIG award in the last five years (since 2016) are eligible to apply for a Technology Improvement Project. LSC has increased the maximum amount for funding requests in this category from $25,000 to $35,000 so that applicants can incorporate information security reviews into their assessments. Please note that Technology Improvement Projects do not require a pre-application. LSC will open the application system and provide guidance for this category by June 15, 2021. E. Available Funds and Additional Consideration for 2021 Grants LSC anticipates awarding up to $4,250,000 through TIG grants in 2021. All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds and any modifications or additional requirements that may be imposed by law. LSC will not designate fixed or estimated amounts for the two different funding categories and will make grant awards for the two categories within the total amount of funding available. As mentioned above, proposals focused on innovative solutions for information security challenges will receive additional consideration in the application review process. F. Grant Terms Applicants may propose grant terms between 12 and 36 months. LSC may instruct applicants to include additional time to the grant term for evaluation, final reporting, and financial reporting. Budgets submitted should be for the entire grant term. 22467 GrantEase by May 14, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. EDT, to be considered for a grant.

Communication with LSC staff, including assigned program liaisons, is not a substitute for sending a formal request and explanation to techgrants@ lsc.gov.
