The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is launching a competition for a fourth round of grants to pilot online identity verification systems that help improve the privacy, security and convenience of online transactions. The pilot grants support the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), a White House initiative launched in 2011. NSTIC's goal is to improve trust online through the creation of a vibrant "Identity Ecosystem," in which individuals and organizations are able to better trust one another because they follow agreed-upon standards and processes for secure, privacy-enhancing and interoperable identity solutions online.

Applying for a pilot grant is a two-step process. The Federal Funding Opportunity, 2015-NIST-NSTIC-01, describes the format for an abbreviated application, which must be received throughwww.grants.gov no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern, Tuesday, March 17, 2015. Once the abbreviated applications are reviewed, full applications will be requested from qualifying organizations. NIST expects to finalize the grant awards by September 2015.
