In addition to private investment, the Baltimore Cyber Range is funded through inclusion in the Intrusion Countermeasures Education and Training (ICE-T) Consortium, which received a $250,000 grant through a workforce stimulation program under the state Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) called EARN Maryland. The Downtown Partnership of Baltimore also provided the consortium a $10,000 grant for locating within the city, said Bruce Spector, president of Electronic Technology Associates, the lead grant applicant in the consortium.
