When Seeking Funds
• Did you respond to the established criteria of the RFP?
• Did you have someone outside of the process proofread your proposal?
• Are your leaders and target community supportive of the application, to include a formal Memorandum of Understanding?
• Is your application clearly written and do the headings match the information requested in the RFP?
• Do not assume the reviewer understands your needs.
• Have you been timely?
The “must have”
• Executive Summary• NO MORE than 2 ½ pages• The problem• The solution (include methodology)• The time• The cost
• The “elevator speech”• Ability to clearly state the project in a short amount of time
• Convey the value; not only to you, but the masses(including that person)
• Strong strategic champion
• Know the difference between “start up” and “proof-of-concept”
Why programs don’t get funded
• Not meeting the guidelines
• No clear mission or description of project
• Failure to answer questions
• Roles of partners not defined
• Required partners not identified
• Failure to follow directions• Length/spacing• Number of copies• Binding• Attachments
• Deadline
• Grant history
• No performance measures

What Is a Fusion Center?
• Defined as a “collaborative effort of two or more agencies that provide resources, expertise, and information to the center with the goal of maximizing their ability to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to criminal and terrorist activity”
• State and major urban area fusion centers are key to the nationwide information sharing framework
Why Is the Fusion Process Important?
• Supports an all-sources, all-crimes, all-hazards, all-threats approach to intelligence
• Blends data from different sources, including law enforcement, public safety, and the private sector
• Supports risk-based, information-driven prevention, response, and consequence management programs
• Supports intelligence-led policing
• Fusion is the overarching process of managing the flow of information and intelligence across all levels and sectors of government and the private sector

Development of Formalized Regions
• Formalized regions will• Promote
interconnectivity
• Leverage existing resources
• Facilitate delivery of DHS/DOJ Fusion Process Training and Technical Assistance program offerings
Current Fusion Center Efforts
• Designation of a primary fusion center within state
• Nationwide assessment of fusion center capabilities by DHS and DOJ
• Addressing use of National Guard personnel within fusion centers
• National Information Exchange Model (NIEM)
• Development of Regional Training and Technical Assistance
31
Information sharing is a national imperative
In detecting, preventing, responding to and investigating crimes, disasters and terrorist acts, the exchange of information among multiple engaged agencies must be timely and accurate and therefore highly automated.
Most existing computer systems are not designed to facilitate information sharing across disciplines and jurisdictions.
Automated information sharing between agencies requires the definition of common standards for linking disparate systems among federal, state, local and tribal agencies.
32
NIEM IS:
• A data standard – with agreed-upon terms, definitions, and formats.
• Independent of the way data is stored in individual systems.
• A way to achieve consensus on the content of specific exchanges
• A structured approach to data interoperability
33
Participating Communities and Governance
Defining Data Components
Defining data components unique to a domain will be done by subject matter experts who are representatives of the domain following basic rules for definitions and terms
A group representing all participating domains will define those data components that are universal or commonly used by more than one domain again using the same basic rules
34
How NIEM Works to Support Information Sharing
• Create a scenario to define the need for information sharing between organizations
• Define the requirements including the data components that should be included
• Use the data component standards from NIEM to design the exchange, extending them where needed
• Document the exchange using technology standards
• Implement the exchange

35
Federal Adoption and Use
• OASIS Electronic Court Filing Technical Committee plans a 2008 release of IEPDs conformant with NIEM.
• DOJ programs, such as LCMS and Sentinel, through their system design efforts are ensuring their exchanges will be NIEM-conformant.
• DHS built a Hospital Availability IEPD and is planning or building 10 other NIEM-conformant IEPDs, including Federated Person Query and Terrorist Watchlist.
• The Program Manager-Information Sharing Environment has declared that NIEM will be the standard for sharing counterterrorism information.
• FBI has released the preliminary IEPD and schema for N-DEx consistent with release 2.0 of NIEM.
• FBI has created an IEPD based on the planned interface between N-DEx and Sentinel.
• FEMA has developed some specific NIEM-compliant schema – vetted through
the NIEM Help Desk – for partner agencies at the federal, state, tribal and local levels to use for external data submission exchanges with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) Toolkit.
36
State & Local Adoption and Use
• New York Division of Criminal Justice Services is utilizing NIEM to implement all CJIS information exchanges.
• Florida is utilizing NIEM for all law enforcement information exchanges.
• Pennsylvania JNET project is developing a plan for upgrading its installed GJXDM based information exchanges to NIEM.
• Texas has begun to develop a plan for statewide adoption of NIEM as the standard for information exchanges.
• Maryland Department of Transportation is exploring the use of NIEM for information exchanges between transportation centers and public safety.
• California is planning to convert their court content management system interfaces to NIEM and to map their e-filing standard (2GEFS) to NIEM.
• New York state and NLETS are developing a NIEM RAP Sheet pilot IEPD.
37
Why NIEM Now?
1. NIEM Is Tested, Ready, and in Production.
2. Documentation and Tools Are Available.
3. Training and Technical Assistance Are Available.
4. A Release Plan Is in Place.
5. Current and Future Grants Mandate NIEM Conformance.
6. Reference IEPDs Are Being Developed.
7. NIEM Is the Means for Intergovernmental Information Sharing.
SAR Operational Study
• Partnership between PM-ISE, DOJ, DHS, DOD
• Minimum 3 locations to reflect fusion center, law enforcement, and military (force protection)
• Two SAR (Suspicious Activity Report) elements• Summary SAR repository (without PII)• Connection of participants to share SAR (with PII)
• Architecture specifically design to connect fusion centers allowing them to search SAR information
• Intention to expand to all 50 states and UASI sites
