Description
NIST invites organizations to submit letters of interest to participate in one or more NCCoE collaborative cybersecurity research project consortia. Participants may contribute technical expertise, services, products, and technology to demonstrations of integrated cybersecurity solutions using commercially available technologies. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, with project-specific timelines posted as projects are announced; NIST periodically reviews submissions and selects participants. Selected organizations generally collaborate under a CRADA with NIST, although NIST may allow eligible entities to participate under a separate non-CRADA agreement.
