Description of Modification
On February 1, 2012, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) posted an Announcement of Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) (2012-NIST-NSTIC-01) on Grants.gov and on the NIST National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) Web site (http://www.nist.gov/nstic/2012-nstic-ffo-01.pdf) announcing the solicitation of proposals for the fiscal year 2012 NSTIC Pilot Grant Program competition. On February 24, 2012, and March 5, 2012, NIST issued amendments changing certain requirements related to formatting and dates, and updating agency contacts.
NIST is now issuing a third amendment to the Full Announcement/FFO document in order to change the dates of the expected completion of the review of the abbreviated proposals and the submission of full proposals found in the Dates section of the Executive Summary on page 2 (both dates), in Section IV.3. on page 11 (deadline for full proposals), and Section V.4. on page 16 (review completion date).

Description
NIST is soliciting proposals from eligible proposers to pilot on-line identity solutions that embrace and advance the NSTIC vision: that individuals and organizations utilize secure, efficient, easy-to-use, and interoperable identity credentials to access online services in a manner that promotes confidence, privacy, choice, and innovation. Specifically, the Federal government seeks to initiate and support pilots that address the needs of individuals, private sector organizations and all levels of government in accordance with the NSTIC Guiding Principles that identity solutions will be (1) privacy-enhancing and voluntary, (2) secure and resilient, (3) interoperable, and (4) cost-effective and easy-to-use. NIST will fund pilot projects that are intended to test or demonstrate new solutions, models or frameworks that do not exist in the marketplace today.
