The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded the George Washington University (GW) a $1,598,743 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to support the GW PISCES (Partnership in Securing Cyberspace through Education and Service) program. This 5-year renewal project aims to recruit and train highly qualified cybersecurity professionals for employment in the federal government's cybersecurity mission. Key activities include providing cybersecurity scholarships, expanding research opportunities for students, making specialized cybersecurity seminars available to a broader audience, and developing a bridge-to-cyber program to attract students from non-technical backgrounds into cybersecurity degrees. The project leverages GW's expertise as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity to equip scholars with hands-on experience, personal connections, and a comprehensive understanding of the federal cybersecurity landscape prior to joining the workforce. No subawards are planned under this grant.
