Re: [CVE-OFFTOPIC?] NIST funding

[Mary M Zuk <mmz@mitre.org>]

Mike and Adam,

Thanks for the information about the NIST Critical Infrastructure
Protection Grants Program.  I have contacted NIST about the
applicability of our CVE work and they felt that CVE does fit within the
framework of this program, particularly our CIEL work.  We will look
into developing a proposal from MITRE.

Thanks,
Margie
