$42.5 Million Technology Opportunities Program RFP Opens
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration is now accepting applications for funding through the Technology Opportunities Program (TOP). The purpose of the matching grants is to extend the benefits of advanced telecommunications technologies to all Americans, especially those in inaccessible, rural, and under-served urban communities. Entities eligible to apply include state, local, and tribal governments, colleges and universities, and non-profit entities. The deadline for submitting proposals is March 22, 2001. Congress appropriated $42.5 million for grants through TOP for Fiscal Year 2001.
Copies of the Application Kit, including the Notice and guidelines for completing an application, can be downloaded from the TOP web site: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/otiahome/top/
To give potential applicants an opportunity to find out more about applying for grant funds, TOP will hold Technical Assistance Workshops February 2, in Washington, DC; February 6, in Denver, Colorado; and February 8, in Saint Louis, Missouri.
