These labs are designed to integrate into cybersecurity, data science, and broader computing...
- This Project Grant award of $375,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports the development of a comprehensive set of hands-on, virtual learning materials for teaching data science concepts and skills applicable to cybersecurity. The University of Southern California (USC) will create these materials, which will be publicly and freely available on the NSF-funded SPHERE research infrastructure. The...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $512,000 under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships federal grant program (CFDA 47.084) to Cyberspara, Inc. to develop an online simulation product that engages citizens in cybersecurity simulations and implements evidence-based learning research. The project will create an effective, standards-based approach for teaching cybersecurity awareness and best practices to school-age populations. By using developmentally appropriate instructional...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $969,645 to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to increase the number of qualified professionals highly skilled in both cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. The project aims to strengthen the United States' security and competitiveness by producing cybersecurity professionals for government service through UMBC's undergraduate and graduate programs. Key activities...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education will provide $322,854 to develop a machine learning-based rapid feedback system for hands-on cybersecurity exercises. Funded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the award will support creating and testing reinforcement learning models to monitor students completing cyber exercises on platforms like Edurange. When students become stuck or frustrated, the system will automatically provide...
- The University of Utah received a $149,247 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation on October 1, 2021 for the development of online role-playing games to improve multi-stakeholder collaboration in concurrent disaster response planning. Funded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070), the award will support the creation of games and simulations to advance the use of research...
- This $300,000 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), will create a gamified behavioral experiment to study how security policies affect compliance and collaboration decisions among U.S. researchers. The project aims to overcome reluctance in the research community to participate in "research on research security" by using a gamified approach to uncover base rates for security compliance behaviors and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded a $299,962 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado-Denver. The project aims to develop a gamified education platform centered around story-driven educational hacking games to attract Generation Z to the cybersecurity workforce. The platform will utilize design science research and gamification techniques to make cybersecurity education more engaging, accessible, and enjoyable. It will enable educators to create customized educational games and establish a collaborative ecosystem for developing, refining, and sharing content. The project seeks to inspire and engage a diverse student population, especially underrepresented minorities, to promote inclusion and contribute to a more skilled and diverse cybersecurity workforce. The award period is from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2025.
