We sincerely appreciate the interest and efforts of all applicants who have aimed to improve their cybersecurity capabilities through this initiative. Although funding is not currently accessible, we remain dedicated to assisting our local and county governments with enhancing their cybersecurity measures.

We expect additional funding to become available later this year. We encourage you to revisit our website or follow us on social media for the latest updates and announcements.

Please stay engaged with us for any future funding opportunities or program developments. Should you have any questions or require guidance on cybersecurity best practices, don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to safeguarding our digital infrastructure.

Our nation faces unprecedented cybersecurity risks, including increasingly sophisticated adversaries, widespread vulnerabilities in commonly used hardware and software, and broad dependencies on networked technologies for the day-to-day operation of critical infrastructure. Cyber risk management is further complicated by the ability of malicious actors to operate remotely, linkages between cyber and physical systems, and the difficulty of reducing vulnerabilities. The potential consequences of cyber incidents threaten national security. Strengthening cybersecurity practices and resilience of state, local, and territorial (SLT) governments is an important homeland security mission and the primary focus of the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP). Through funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the SLCGP enables DHS to make targeted cybersecurity investments in SLT government agencies, thus improving the security of critical infrastructure and improving the resilience of the services 4 FY 2022 SLCGP NOFO Back to the Top SLT governments provide their community.

Please review the SLCGP one-page application announcement before completing your application.  Applications must be tied to the State Cyber Plan in the announcement.  Submit applications to hsgrants@okohs.ok.gov.

The Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Grant Program, established under the Working Families Tax Cut Act, 2025 (Pub. L. No. 119-21, Sec. 90005(a)), provides $500 million in funding to enhance state and local capabilities to detect, identify, track, or monitor unmanned aircraft systems (as defined in 49 U.S.C. § 44801), consistent with Titles 18 and 49 of the U.S.C. This funding supports U.S. state, local, tribal, and territorial governments in combating the unlawful use of unmanned aircraft systems that pose a threat to the safety and security of the American people, communities, and institutions, critical infrastructure, and sensitive government operations, consistent with the SAFER SKIES ACT (Pub. L. No.119-60) and 6 C.F.R. Part 124, Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System Authority for state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement and correctional agencies.

Using C-UAS Grant Program funds, eligible governments and their subrecipients may purchase unmanned aircraft system (UAS) Detection, Identifying, Monitoring, Tracking, and Mitigation (DIMT-M) technologies to support public safety officials in the protection of the public and critical infrastructure from nefarious or unlawful use of UAS consistent with 6 U.S.C. § 124n and 6 C.F.R. 124. The operation of certain detection and all mitigation technologies will be limited to accredited law enforcement and correctional agencies that meet the training, certification, accreditation, and authorized technology requirements of 6 C.F.R. 124 described in this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

For Fiscal Year 2026, DHS/FEMA prioritized $250 million in funding for the 11 states that directly or indirectly hosted FIFA World Cup 2026 events and the National Capital Region (NCR), which served as the host of the national America 250 events.

For Fiscal Year 2027, the remaining $250 million will be distributed to all 56 states and territories, with a focus on building national detection and response capacity across the nation, generally, as well as an expanded focus on supporting the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. Crucially, this round of funding must be strategically leveraged to support the Olympic torch relay, representing a vital operational priority to secure the relay's expansive domestic route and ensure seamless interagency coordination before the opening ceremonies. The 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Los Angeles have been designated as a National Special Security Event (NSSE), and official ancillary events have been designated as Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) events. Jurisdictions will receive statutory minimums established under the State Homeland Security Grant Program, with additional funds allocated based on the DHS Terrorism Risk Methodology and the anticipated effectiveness of proposed projects as determined during the post-award effectiveness review process.

Subapplicant Information

In accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.1, 6 U.S.C. Chapter 1, and program-specific guidance, State Administrative Agents (SAAs) may issue subawards to eligible state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) government entities, including city and county agencies, law enforcement, correctional agencies, fire services, emergency medical services, emergency management, and other qualifying public safety organizations. These subrecipients carry out approved C-UAS Grant Program projects that further program goals consistent with federal law and the authorities applicable to the subrecipients.

The authority to purchase this equipment is not the same as the authority to operationally utilize the equipment.

Subawards for mitigation equipment, or for detection equipment or services that require the authority of 6 U.S.C. § 124n, may be issued to any eligible subrecipient, including a regional or intergovernmental consortium, provided that the application identifies, for each such system, the SLTT law enforcement or correctional agency that will exercise operational control of the system (the designated operating agency). Only an SLTT law enforcement or correctional agency may be accredited under 6 C.F.R. Part 124, and only its own certified officers or employees may operate the system, make credible threat determinations, or execute mitigation actions (6 C.F.R. § 124.4). A subrecipient that is not itself the designated operating agency may own, house, maintain, and transport the equipment but may not exercise operational control of it. The subrecipient and each designated operating agency must execute a written agreement, submitted with the Investment Justification, establishing the designated operating agency’s custody and control of the system during operations. FEMA will verify the accreditation and certification status of each designated operating agency with the National Counter-UAS Training Center (NCUTC). (Reminder: The designated operating agency must be accredited under 6 C.F.R. § 124.6 before the system is operated.)

Subrecipient funding should prioritize agencies that provide first response and law enforcement capabilities in support of the protection of soft targets and crowded places, including public venues and events. The C-UAS Grant Program is not primarily intended to support correctional facility enforcement activities, except where such activities are directly tied to approved program goals, allowable costs, and applicable federal authorities.

These subrecipients carry out approved C-UAS Grant Program projects that further program goals consistent with federal law and the authorities applicable to the subrecipients.

Subapplicants should not have foreign nationals or Aliens included. If a subapplicant has foreign nationals, they must be properly vetted and must adhere to all government statutes, policies, and procedures including “staff American, stay in America” and security requirements.

Subapplicants must read and understand the NOFO in its entirety and follow all requirements and restrictions listed in the NOFO.
