# Representatives Reintroduce Cybersecurity Clinics Grant Act

On November 13, 2026, Representatives Marc Veasey, August Pfluger, Nellie Pou, and Zach Nunn reintroduced legislation directing the Department of Homeland Security, through CISA, to establish grants for cybersecurity clinics at community colleges and minority-serving institutions. The bill has not been enacted, and the announcement provides no funding amount, application schedule, or solicitation details, so any grant or contractor opportunity depends on legislative passage and funding.

- If enacted and funded, colleges could seek support to establish clinics, while contractors may find opportunities to provide cybersecurity curricula, training, and clinic capabilities.
- Procurement and business teams can use the proposed program scope to assess relevant education and cybersecurity offerings, but the signal does not identify a current solicitation or confirmed funding.
- The proposed clinics are intended to provide hands-on student training and cybersecurity assistance to small businesses and local governments.
