Background and Instructions:

MassDEP/Drinking Water Program (DWP) developed this tool to make the cybersecurity grant application submission process secure and convenient for the PWS. To ensure that your application is considered, please make sure that it is complete and that all required appendices are included.

Once you have completed the Grant application, please select your PWS using the drop-down list labeled "Select your PWS" and attach/upload your grant application by dragging and dropping your file into the File Upload box labeled "Attach your grant application file". Please note that incomplete applications will not be considered for the grant.

Eligible PWS may apply on a rolling basis until all funds are expended. Once the application is received, MassDEP/DWP may contact PWS to verify their eligibility for this grant. If necessary, MassDEP/DWP will schedule a project review meeting, in person or through another secure method to discuss your projected needs, costs, and schedule before approval is granted.

If you have any questions or concerns about submitting sensitive information through this form, or need assistance related to the grant application or this form, please contact the MassDEP/DWP at program.director-dwp@mass.gov, subject: Cybersecurity Grant Application.
