The TMF Board is seeking proposals for projects aimed at implementing the 21st Century IDEA.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recently released policy guidance to federal agencies, Delivering a Digital-First Public Experience (OMB M-23-22). The guidance provides a robust policy framework for the next decade of digital modernization across government so agencies have common standards for delivering online tools and experiences that meet today’s expectations. The new proposal process will help agencies implement both the broad requirements of the 21st Century IDEA, and the specific guidance laid out in M-23-22.
Agencies begin the process by contacting the TMF Program Management Office to discuss the project. Different agencies may be at different stages of 21st Century IDEA implementation, and with different access to resources.
The TMF Program Management Office (PMO) will help agencies determine what level of funding and other resources are needed to ensure the project is successful. The PMO will also help agencies determine what level of repayment is appropriate (at least 50%). The requirements of the Act are expansive and complex, so regardless of funding level or other attributes, all projects must be supported by high-functioning teams with executive champions. Review our additional repayment guidance.
