Opportunity Summary:
The State and Local Implementation Grant Program (SLIGP) was a National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) grant opportunity meant to help U.S. states and territories get organized for the rollout of a nationwide public safety broadband network (the network later associated with FirstNet). The program was structured as a formula-based grant with a matching (cost-share) requirement, and it was designed to support states as they worked with regional, tribal, and local partners to plan, coordinate, and prepare for consultations and data needs tied to building the network.
A key feature of SLIGP was its two-phase design, with all grant funds obligated at the time of award but released in stages. Phase one focused on early readiness work: planning, consultation preparation, and general program development. In practical terms, this covered things like building a statewide strategy and timeline for engagement with FirstNet, convening and staffing meetings, setting up or refining governance structures (how the state would coordinate decisions and input), and conducting outreach and education to stakeholders such as public safety agencies and local governments. NTIA emphasized phase one because FirstNet still needed to finalize how it wanted data collected, and the program needed to help states prepare to participate effectively in that process.
Phase two was intentionally gated and would not begin until certain conditions were met. Specifically, phase two could start after FirstNet had consulted with the state-designated contact on the topics required under the governing law, including the state’s coverage needs, user requirements, and expectations for network hardening and resiliency, and then informed NTIA that it was ready to move into data collection. Phase two could also be triggered if NTIA requested a revised budget from grant recipients for second-phase activities. The main purpose of this second phase was to fund additional preparation for follow-on consultations and to support data collection work, but only if FirstNet determined it needed standardized inventories from states, such as asset and infrastructure information, to support the design of the nationwide network.
Administratively, SLIGP was offered as a discretionary grant competition with an “Other†activity classification clarified as consultation, planning, governance, and outreach. NTIA anticipated making 56 awards, aligning with eligibility for the 56 states and territories. While states and territories could coordinate regionally when preparing their submissions, each state or territory applying had to submit its own individual application during the open window. The opportunity carried CFDA number 11.549 and required cost sharing or matching funds from recipients.
The application window ran from February 6, 2013 through March 19, 2013. Online applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on March 19, 2013, while paper applications had to be postmarked by that date or hand-delivered by 5:00 p.m. EDT. The opportunity was later archived on April 20, 2013. For program questions, NTIA listed Michael Dame as Program Director (202-482-1181), and applicants were directed to the full announcement for complete requirements and instructions.
