NIST First Call for Multi-Party Threshold Schemes: NIST IR 8214C | NIST https://www. nist. gov/news-events/news/2026/01/nist-first-call-multi-party-threshold-schemes-nist-ir-8214c NIST First Call for Multi-Party Threshold Schemes: NIST IR 8214C NIST has published Internal Report (IR) 8214C, NIST First Call for Multi-Party Threshold Schemes.
NIST has published Internal Report (IR) 8214C, NIST First Call for Multi-Party Threshold Scheme s, which calls for public submissions of multi-party threshold schemes and related crypto-systems. These systems enable the distribution of trust regarding the creation, storage, and use of private/secret keys needed by cryptographic primitives.
The scope of this NIST Threshold Call includes NIST-approved primitives (e.g., signatures, encryption, symmetric-key and hashing-related primitives, key generation), and others, such as fully-homomorphic encryption (FHE) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP). The Threshold Call asks for submission packages with a technical specification, an open-source reference implementation, a report on experimental evaluation, and notes on patent claims.
Additionally, this NIST Threshold Call: Organizes the scope into two classes (N and S), each with multiple categories Discusses the vision of collecting a body of reference materials on advanced cryptography Organizes the process into three phases: Previews, Packages, and Analysis Outlines the required structure of a submission package Establishes security requirements and other requirements specific to each category There will be three opportunities to present “previews” (plans of upcoming package submissions).
The first opportunity will be hosted at MPTS 2026 , the NIST Workshop on Multi-Party Threshold Schemes. Additional information can be found at https://csrc. nist.

Current published award information indicates Varies Always verify allowable costs, matching requirements, and funding caps directly in the sponsor documentation.
The current target date is rolling deadlines or periodic funding windows. Build your timeline backwards from this date to cover registrations, approvals, attachments, and final submission checks.
Federal grant success rates typically range from 10-30%, varying by agency and program. Build a strong proposal with clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and a well-justified budget to improve your chances.
Requirements vary by sponsor, but typically include a project narrative, budget justification, organizational capability statement, and key personnel CVs. Check the official notice for the complete list of required attachments.
Yes — AI tools like Granted can help research funders, draft proposal sections, and check compliance. However, always review and customize AI-generated content to reflect your organization's unique strengths and the specific requirements of the solicitation.
Review timelines vary by funder. Federal agencies typically take 3-6 months from submission to award notification. Foundation grants may be faster, often 1-3 months. Check the program's timeline in the official solicitation for specific dates.
Many federal programs offer multi-year funding or allow competitive renewals. Check the official solicitation for continuation and renewal policies. Non-competing continuation applications are common for multi-year awards.
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I is sponsored by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST SBIR Program Phase I seeks applications from eligible small businesses to explore the technical merit or feasibility of an innovative idea or technology with the aim of developing a viable product or service, and/or a standard, that will be introduced to the commercial marketplace.
Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) is sponsored by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST SBIR program supports cutting-edge research and development in key areas such as advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, quantum information science, and IoT, to foster U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness. Phase I explores feasibility and technical merit, while Phase II focuses on continued R&D and prototype development.
Digital Cities' Innovation Accelerator Small Grant Program is sponsored by U.S. State Department's Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy (CDP). These small grants activate the private sector to deliver novel and innovative solutions to civic challenges. Projects must address a sub-national public service or infrastructure need AND incorporate trusted U.S. digital based solutions, empowering municipalities to improve public service delivery.
This NOFO provides an opportunity to all FY 2018 NIST SBIR Phase I awardees to submit a Phase II application following completion of Phase I. This NOFO provides instructions for FY 2019 NIST SBIR Phase II application preparation and submission requirements. In Phase II, work from Phase I that exhibits potential for commercial application is further developed. Phase II is the R&D or prototype development phase. To apply for a Phase II award, each Phase I awardee will be required to submit a comprehensive application outlining the proposed research and a detailed plan to commercialize the final product. Each NIST Phase II award is for up to $400,000 and up to a 24-month period of performance. One year after completing the Phase II R&D activity, the awardee shall be required to report on its commercialization activities. Up to an additional $6,500 may be requested for Technical and Business Assistance (TABA); see Section 5.11 for more information about TABA. Funding Opportunity Number: 2019-NIST-SBIR-02. Assistance Listing: 11.620. Funding Instrument: CA. Category: ST. Award Amount: Up to $400K per award.
Research on Circular Economy, Smart Manufacturing, and Energy-Efficient Microelectronics is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO). This funding opportunity supports innovative technology R&D across the manufacturing sector with a focus on circular economy, smart manufacturing, and energy-efficient microelectronics. While the stated deadline for full applications has passed, AMMTO frequently issues similar solicitations, and this highlights a relevant area of interest for the DOE.
