This $1,000,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Human Resource Development will fund Prairie View A&M University's efforts to enhance cybersecurity research and education infrastructure through February 2026. Specifically, the university will develop a new graduate program in cybersecurity that complements existing capacity building efforts. This will be accomplished by creating novel security architectures, training experts across hardware, software and systems, increasing doctoral graduates from underrepresented groups in STEM, establishing pathways to doctoral programs, and developing a graduate cybersecurity certificate approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The outcomes will contribute to security in critical sectors such as energy, finance, health, education, transportation and defense. The funding falls under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA #47.076), which supports vitality in STEM education.
