Applications via pilot proposals for Cohort 2 will formally open January 5, 2026.

After an intense week of pilot proposals that ended with a marathon day of 6 on Friday the 9th, we selected an additional 10 participants in Cohort 2. All of these pilot proposals were so solid that it didn't seem fair to only pick the best 7 - adding 3 more is a fair bit of extra work for us but we decided to make the commitment anyway.

Last week our senior staff spent ~11 hours in collaborative workshops with 7 of these participants and it's definitely a wild ride. The selected participants for both cohorts (including their pilot proposal, if applicable) can be seen at https://www.fedramp.gov/20x/phase-two/participate/

During the past 2 weeks, we spent a total of ~20 hours collaborating with Cohort 2 participants. 3 of them have completed review of all KSIs with us, and 7 of them will be finishing up shortly.
