Helping you make the most of the broadband stimulus funds

Following the releases of the NOFA for the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) and the Broadband Infrastructure Program (BIP), states now face the task of developing and submitting proposals that both address the NOFAs’ goals, requirements and criteria in ways that maximize prospects for approval and maximize the benefits of broadband to citizens, businesses and community anchor institutions.

How we can help

We can help States achieve these two goals in ways that yield the most “bang for the buck” from Federal stimulus funds. We have the capacity and tools that can add quality and credibility to proposals in four key program areas funded by the BTOP and mapping NOFAs:

• Cost-effective state broadband mapping, with independent verification, that meets or exceeds the requirements set forth in the State Broadband Data Program (SBDP) NOFA. Learn more

• Broadband planning activities that identify and overcome barriers to adoption, usage and benefits and help planners prioritize broadband investment options. These planning activities are eligible for SBDP funding up to $500,000 per project. Learn more

• Design and evaluation of sustainable broadband adoption projects, which are eligible for up to $150 million in federal stimulus funding. Learn more

• Design, planning, coordination and evaluation of public computer center projects, which are eligible for up to $50 million in stimulus support. Learn more
