CITY GRANTS : GRANTS FOR CITIES

 Special GRANT INDEXes:

  The “Grants for Cities” Index is a valuable resource for municipalities of all sizes. It will benefit technology coordinators, MIS department heads, CIOs for municipal technology departments, and grant development officers. As new initiatives and needs appear, municipalities may move beyond budget restrictions to take advantage of technology support.

Recent grants for cities have funded emergency response high-tech equipment and software applications to improve the lives of citizens. Other regular funding provides incentives for city governments to form technology partnerships with business, academic groups, and citizen coalitions.

 Recent Excerpts from Technology Grant News:

“Digital Government Grant Application Process Featured”

"For cities and social service providers, or any organization that interfaces with government, the Digital Government website http://www.dgsociety.org, is a place to network with others working on digital government and learn about the National Science Foundation’s ‘Digital Government’ grant process. This year, an anticipated $8 million will be given for 10-20 awards for "Digital Government" academic/government collaborations to contribute to government strategic planning for information technologies and services. Topics may include technology for law and order; digital democracy and outreach; use of large datasets in government; electronic rulemaking, networks; archiving of digital materials, and e-government for crisis management and emergency response. Contact: Lawrence E. Brandt, (703) 292-8980, e-Mail: lbrandt@nsf.gov."
