Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) Grant Program

Maryland fortifies the nation’s defense, intelligence, cybersecurity, and aerospace economy. As that work grows, so does the need for secure environments where sensitive, critical work can happen. Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities, known as SCIFs, are spaces that give businesses, institutions, and public-sector partners the infrastructure they need to compete for federal work, support security-cleared professionals, and keep high-value activity in Maryland. When SCIF space is available in the right places, it can help attract investment, create jobs, expand opportunity, and strengthen the state’s national security advantage.

The SCIF program was created to help move that work forward.
