Broadband Development (KOBD) under the Kansas Department of Commerce was established to help ensure all Kansans have the opportunity to live, work, play, learn and compete in a global economy by improving universal access to quality, reliable and affordable broadband.&nbsp; Complementing the efforts surrounding improving universal access to all Kansans, the KOBD recently published the Kansas Digital Equity (DE) Plan that supports Kansans and associated communities in developing the technology capacity needed for full participation in our society and economy. &nbsp;In order to achieve the vision and goals for digital equity, key measurable objectives were established to guide KOBD\u2019s efforts to close the digital equity gap in Kansas. These include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improved availability of broadband across Kansas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased access to and adoption of affordable broadband service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focusing on the growth of digital skills, education, and knowledge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased awareness of and proficiency in dealing with online privacy and cyber security issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expanding access to affordable devices with accommodating technical support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promoting the online accessibility and inclusivity of public resources and services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Digital Opportunities to Connect Kansans (DOCK) program aims to elevate digital literacy and skills training in Kansas, prioritizing covered populations in economically distressed areas. With a total funding of $4.75 million, individual awards may reach $250,000. Successful applications will require a 5% minimum match. The initiative spans from January 19, 2024, to July 31, 2026, and is funded by the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Monday, February 12, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Project administrative costs directly benefiting the project are allowed.&nbsp; Indirect administrative costs (personnel &amp; operating) are not allowed.&nbsp; This is updated

The purpose of these funds is to expand digital skills training for communities across Kansas through Digital Opportunities to Connect Kansans (DOCK). KOBD endeavors to bridge the gap in broadband accessibility, affordability, and device availability as outlined in the Kansas Digital Equity Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KOBD has initiated a public comment period for the Digital Opportunities to Connect Kansans (DOCK) program. The public comment process is integral to KOBD\u2019s efforts to optimize investment, uphold fiscal responsibility, and ensure transparency in Kansas. The public comment period was open on March 7, 2024, at 5:00 PM CT until March 21, 2024, at 5 p.m. CT. Applicant response to public comment will be open at 5pm CST on March 29, 2024.  It is scheduled to close on April 11, 2024. DOCK Public Project Proposals will be available for public review and commentary during this period. This transparent public comment mechanism facilitates feedback from the public, internet service providers, and stakeholders interested in digital opportunity projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that all comments collected during the public comment period will be posted as part of public disclosure, except for information containing specific infrastructure assets deemed \u201cproprietary.\u201d
