SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

Since 2000, Congress has provided an 

annual appropriation to LSC to award 

special funding for client self-help and 

information technology projects. LSC’s 

Technology Initiative Grant (TIG) 

program funds technology tools that 

help achieve LSC’s goal of increasing 

the quantity and quality of legal services 

available to eligible persons. Projects 

funded under the TIG program develop, 

test, and replicate innovative 

technologies that can enable grant 

recipients and state justice communities 

to improve low-income persons’ access 

to high-quality legal assistance through 

an integrated and well-managed 

technology system. The TIG program 

also supports effective technology 

planning and management at LSCfunded organizations through the use of 

targeted assessment grants focused on 

improvements to technology systems 

and information security. 

II. Funding Opportunities Information 

A. Eligible Applicants 

To be eligible for Technology 

Initiative Grants, applicants must be 

current grantees of LSC Basic FieldGeneral, Basic Field-Migrant, or Basic 

Field-Native American grants. In 

addition, applicants must receive basic 

field funding of at least a one-year term, 

be up to date on reporting on any 

existing TIG-funded projects, and not 

have had a previous TIG terminated in 

the past three years for reporting or 

other performance issues. 

B. Technology Initiative Grant Purpose 

and Key Goals 

Since LSC’s TIG program was 

established in 2000, LSC has made over 

826 grants totaling over $77 million. 

This grant program encourages 

organizations to use technology in 

innovative ways to: 

1. Effectively and efficiently provide 

high-quality legal assistance to lowincome persons and to promote access 

to the judicial system through legal 

information, advice, and representation. 

2. Improve service delivery, quality of 

legal work, and management and 

administration of grantees. 

3. Develop, test, and replicate 

innovative strategies that can enable 

grantees and state justice communities 

to improve clients’ access to highquality legal assistance. 

C. Funding Categories 

1. General Technology Initiative Grants 

Projects in this category (1) 

implement new or innovative 

approaches for using technology in legal 

services delivery; (2) enhance the 

effectiveness and efficiency of existing 

technologies so that they may be better 

used to increase the quality and 

quantity of services to clients; or (3) 

replicate, adapt, or provide added value 

to the work of prior technology projects. 

This includes, but is not limited to, the 

implementation and improvement of 

tested methodologies and technologies 

from previous TIG projects. We also 

encourage replication of proven 

technologies from non-LSC funded legal 

aid organizations as well as sectors 

outside the legal aid community. 

LSC recommends a minimum amount 

for funding requests in this category of 

$40,000, but projects with lower budgets 

will be considered. There is no 

maximum amount for TIG funding 

requests that are within the total 

appropriation for TIG. All applicants in 

this category must submit a preapplication according to the process and 

requirements outlined in this notice. 

2. Technology Improvement Projects 

LSC recognizes that grantees need 

sufficient technology infrastructure in 

place before they can take on a more 

innovative TIG project, and this grant 

category is for applicants that need to 

improve their basic technology 

infrastructure or their information 

security posture. The maximum funding 

amount for this category is $35,000. 

Please note that Technology 

Improvement Projects do not require a 

pre-application. LSC will open the 

application system and provide 

guidance for this project category by 

April 15, 2022. The application 

deadline for Technology Improvement 

Projects is May 20, 2022. 

D. Available Funds for 2022 Grants 

The availability of funds for 

Technology Initiative Grants for FY2022 

depends on LSC’s appropriation. LSC is 

currently operating under a Continuing 

Resolution for FY2022, which funds the 

federal government through February 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 24 / Friday, February 4, 2022 / Notices 6629 

18, 2022. The Continuing Resolution 

maintains funding at $4,250,000. 

Technology Initiative Grant decisions 

for FY2022 will be made by September 

2022. LSC anticipates publicizing the 

total amount available for Technology 

Initiative Grants when Congress enacts 

the FY2022 appropriation. 

LSC will not designate fixed or 

estimated amounts for the two different 

funding categories and will make grant 

awards for the two categories within the 

total amount of funding available. 

E. Grant Terms 

Applicants to the Technology 

Initiative Grant (TIG) program may 

propose grant terms between 12 and 36 

months for general category projects and 

between 12 and 18 months for 

technology improvement projects. The 

grant term is expected to commence on 

October 1, 2022. 

III. Grant Application Process 

A. Technology Initiative Grant 

Application Process 

The Technology Initiative Grant (TIG) 

application process will be 

administered in LSC’s unified grants 

management system, GrantEase. 

Applicants must first submit a preapplication to LSC in GrantEase by 

March 18, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. EDT, to 

be considered for a grant. After review 

by LSC staff, LSC’s president decides 

which applicants will be asked to 

submit a full application. Applicants 

will be notified of approval to submit a 

full application by late-April 2022. Full 

applications are due to LSC in the 

GrantEase system on June 3, 2022, at 

11:59 p.m. EDT. Once received, full 

applications will undergo a rigorous 

review by LSC staff. LSC’s president 

makes the final decisions on funding for 

the Technology Initiative Grant 

program. 

As noted above, applicants applying 

for Technology Improvement Project 

funding are not requirered to submit 

pre-applications. LSC will launch the 

online application system for these 

projects by April 15, 2022, and set a 

submission deadline of May 20, 2022, at 

11:59 p.m. EDT. 

B. Late or Incomplete Applications 

LSC may consider a request to submit 

a pre-application after the deadline, but 

only if the applicant has submitted an 

email to techgrants@lsc.gov explaining 

the circumstances that caused the delay 

prior to the pre-application deadline. 

Communication with LSC staff, 

including assigned program liaisons, is 

not a substitute for sending a formal 

request and explanation to techgrants@

lsc.gov. At its discretion, LSC may 

consider incomplete applications. LSC 

will determine the admissibility of late 

or incomplete applications on a case-bycase basis. 

C. Multiple Pre-Applications 

Applicants may submit multiple preapplications under the same or different 

funding category. If applying for 

multiple grants, applicants should 

submit separate pre-applications for 

each funding request. 

D. Additional Information and 

Guidelines 

Additional guidance and instructions 

on the pre-application and application 

processes for Technology Initiative 

Grants will be available and regularly 

updated at https://www.lsc.gov/grants/ 

technology-initiative-grant-program.
