Program, and Digital Equity Competitive
Grant Program. The Broadband Equity,
Access, and Deployment Program is a
$42.45 billion formula-based program to
States, territories, and the District of
Columbia for qualifying broadband
deployment, mapping, and adoption
projects. The Enabling Middle Mile
Broadband Infrastructure Program is a
competitive $1 billion grant program for
the construction, improvement or

infrastructure. The Digital Equity Act
Programs—which includes the State
Digital Equity Planning Grant Program,
State Digital Equity Capacity Grant

Competitive Grant Program—allocate
$2.75 billion to promote digital
inclusion and equity for communities
that lack the skills, technologies, and
support needed to take advantage of
broadband connections.
Additionally, the Consolidated
Appropriations Act (CAA), 2021 (Pub.
L. 116–260) authorized three new
broadband grant programs to be
administered by NTIA: the Broadband
Infrastructure Program (BIP), the Tribal
Broadband Connectivity Program

Communities Pilot Program (CMC). The
Broadband Infrastructure Program is a
$288 million broadband deployment
program directed to partnerships
between a State, or one or more political
subdivisions of a State, and providers of
fixed broadband service to support
broadband infrastructure deployment to
areas lacking broadband, especially
rural areas. The Tribal Broadband
Connectivity Program—created under
the CAA and receiving additional
funding under IIJA—is now a $3 billion
program directed to tribal governments
to be used for broadband deployment on
tribal lands, as well as for telehealth,
distance learning, broadband
affordability, and digital inclusion. The
Connecting Minority Communities Pilot
Program is a $268 million grant program
to Historically Black Colleges and
Universities, Tribal Colleges and
Universities, and Minority-Serving
Institutions for the purchase of
broadband internet access service and
eligible equipment or to hire and train
information technology personnel.
