Boise State University was awarded a $400,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Graduate Education under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA 47.076).

The grant will support the development and delivery of a vertically-aligned hands-on cybersecurity curriculum based on adversarial thinking. The curriculum is aimed at strengthening K-12 STEM education and ensuring the vitality of the nation's cybersecurity workforce. It will leverage hands-on learning approaches and "thinking like an adversary" methodologies to engage students in cyber-challenges from middle school through university level study.

The three-year grant period will allow Boise State to design, implement and evaluate the new curriculum. Outcomes will include increased student interest and preparedness for cyber-related postsecondary education and careers. The NSF grant program supports this type of innovative work to bolster the U.S. STEM education system and workforce.
