Internet Connectivity and Growth (OICG) envisions an equitable and inclusive future where everyone in America is connected to reliable, affordable, high-speed Internet service; enabling each person to fully participate in the modern, digital society by accessing opportunities and information only available online.  To achieve this vision, OICG facilitates equitable deployment, access, and adoption of broadband through a whole-of-government approach with other institutions that invest in broadband and digital inclusion, including federal agencies, states, Tribal nations, and the private sector. </p><p>OICG manages NTIA’s implementation of a number of broadband grant programs. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, passed in November 2021, includes more than $65 billion to invest in closing the digital divide in our country, of which NTIA is accountable for administering $48.2 billion for the <a href="/funding-programs/internet-all/broadband-equity-access-and-deployment-bead-program">Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD)</a>, <a href="/funding-programs/internet-all/digital-equity-act-programs">Digital Equity Act</a>, <a href="/funding-programs/internet-all/enabling-middle-mile-broadband-infrastructure-program">Enabling Middle Mile Infrastructure</a>, and the <a href="/funding-programs/internet-all/tribal-broadband-connectivity-program">Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program</a> initiatives. Authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, is also administering the initial Tribal Broadband Connectivity Grant program, the <a href="/funding-programs/internet-all/broadband-infrastructure-program">Broadband Infrastructure Deployment Grant program</a>, the <a href="/funding-programs/internet-all/connecting-minority-communities-pilot-program">Connecting Minority Communities Pilot Program</a>, as well as implementing the provisions of the ACCESS Broadband Act. These monumental investments provided a significant opportunity for OICG to expand high-speed Internet access for all.</p><p>OICG also manages the <a href="https://broadbandusa.ntia.gov/" target="_blank">BroadbandUSA program</a>, the <a href="https://broadbandusa.ntia.gov/resources/data-and-mapping" target="_blank">National Broadband Availability Map (NBAM)</a>, the <a href="https://www.ntia.gov/category/minority-broadband-initiatives" target="_blank">Minority Broadband Initiative (MBI)</a> and <a href="https://broadbandusa.ntia.doc.gov/resources/federal" target="_blank">supports interagency coordination efforts</a>. These programs help to further the deployment and use of broadband technology, which lays the groundwork for sustainable economic growth, improved education, public safety, health care, and the advancement of other national priorities.</p><p>In the past, OICG (formerly OTIA) also administered the following grant programs:</p><ul><li>The <a href="https://www2.ntia.gov/" target="_blank"><strong>Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) and the State Broadband Initiative</strong></a><strong>, </strong>an investment of approximately $4 billion in projects throughout the United States to support the deployment of broadband infrastructure, enhance and expand public computer centers, encourage sustainable adoption of broadband service, and promote statewide broadband planning and data collection activities.</li></ul><p>Associate Administrator: <a href="/personnel-profile/doug-kinkoph" target="_blank">Douglas
