The Michigan Cybersecurity Planning Committee is requesting additional information from applicants who previously expressed an interest in participating in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program Funds (SLCGP). This program aims to enhance cybersecurity infrastructure across various entities, including rural hospitals.
The request for information must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on May 1 to be considered for these funds. Selected applicants must have a current unique entity identification (UEI) registered through SAM.gov and a vendor identification number from the state. Applicants who have neither IDs should initiate the process of obtaining them immediately, as they are necessary for funding and reimbursements.
The FY 2022 SLCGP funds will be distributed as a direct sub-grant through the Michigan State Police, aimed at reimbursing local government for costs incurred in implementing approved SLGCP Projects. For the FY 2022 grant cycle, funding will be available for only two approved projects:
- Subscriptions and licensing for Endpoint Detection & Response.
- Cybersecurity assessments conducted under Michigan MiDEAL approved contract.
The MHA recommends members work with CyberForce|Q, an MHA Endorsed Partner and an approved MiDEAL vendor. CyberForceIQ has 28 years of experience in architecting and implementing measurable cybersecurity programs for organizations of all sizes, ensuring proven cybersecurity program advancement.
