Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 GPD 137 00 02
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Tribal Cybersecurity Grant Program (TCGP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) administered by FEMA, designed specifically to help federally recognized tribal governments manage and reduce systemic cyber risk. The program is centered on improving how tribes plan for, govern, and carry out cybersecurity work so they are better able to prevent, withstand, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents while maintaining continuity of operations for essential services.
A core requirement for FY 2023 is that every applicant must explain how it will meet Objective 1, which focuses on building and formalizing governance structures for cybersecurity. In practical terms, this means developing, implementing, or revising a Cybersecurity Plan and putting the decision-making and oversight processes in place that allow the tribe to respond effectively to cybersecurity incidents and keep operations running during disruptions. The intent is to move cybersecurity from being a purely technical concern to being an organized, sustained program with clear leadership, accountability, priorities, and procedures.
Beyond Objective 1, the program also allows tribes to propose work under additional objectives that are eligible but not mandatory for FY 2023. Objective 2 supports gaining a clearer understanding of the tribe's current cybersecurity posture and identifying gaps through continuous testing, evaluation, and structured assessments. Objective 3 supports putting security protections in place that match the level of risk, emphasizing that controls and safeguards should be appropriate to what is being protected and the threats faced. Objective 4 supports building a trained workforce by ensuring personnel receive cybersecurity training appropriate to their roles and responsibilities, recognizing that many incidents stem from human factors and that readiness depends on staff awareness and capability across the organization.
The opportunity is closely tied to federal statutory requirements in the Homeland Security Act of 2002 as amended by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). Under these requirements, grant recipients must develop a Cybersecurity Plan, establish a Cybersecurity Planning Committee to support development of that plan, and identify the specific projects they will implement with TCGP funds. For FY 2023 funding in particular, recipients are required to prioritize certain foundational activities as a condition of receiving the award, most notably (1) establishing a Cybersecurity Planning Committee and (2) implementing or revising a Cybersecurity Plan, unless the tribe already has a plan and intends to update it. This structure is meant to ensure that funding is anchored in coordinated planning and governance rather than isolated purchases.
Administratively, the funding opportunity is listed as DHS 23 GPD 137 00 02 under CFDA 97.137. Eligible applicants are federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The opportunity was created on September 27, 2023, with an application closing date of January 10, 2024. DHS/FEMA anticipated making about 50 awards, with an award ceiling listed as $18,246,845. Overall, the program is designed to help tribes build durable cybersecurity programs by starting with governance and planning, then supporting assessment, risk-aligned security improvements, and training as part of a longer-term effort to reduce cyber risk.Apply for DHS 23 GPD 137 00 02
