SLCGP Funding: $1 Billion Over Four Years
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) allocates $1 billion over four years to help state, local, and territorial governments strengthen cybersecurity, develop plans, and address resource gaps. The program objectives for FY 2022–2025 require applicants to address at least one objective such as governance, posture assessment, security protections, or workforce training.
State CIOs/CISOs Must Complete 60‑Minute Survey
All state and territorial Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) who serve as the head of their SLCGP Cybersecurity Planning Committee in grant year 2025 or thereafter will receive a 60-minute online survey. The survey will collect contact PII (first name, last name, locality/entity name, job title, and work email), the respondent universe is 100–200 contributors (55 state/territory responses expected), estimated time per respondent is 1 hour, total burden hours 72, and total annual burden cost $13,244.34.
Evaluation Will Inform Future Funding and Policy
CISA will synthesize survey, interview, and focus group findings into a report to inform SED leadership and to support future program iterations and policy developments; relevant findings may be incorporated into reports to Congress and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The program’s active funding phase is scheduled to conclude in FY 2026 and the final period of performance in FY 2029.
Small Businesses Will Not Be Surveyed
The evaluation will not collect data from small businesses or small entities; information collection is limited to federal, state, and territorial government staff members. The survey and interviews target SLCGP recipient staff and relevant CISA and FEMA personnel only.
