The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $204,171 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to develop sector-specific cybersecurity training programs focused on the healthcare industry. The project aims to create a pipeline of well-trained, diverse cybersecurity workers for in-demand jobs at healthcare organizations in New York City, which have been challenged by a shortage of qualified cybersecurity staff. RFCUNY is utilizing a sectoral partnership model to contextualize the college's existing cybersecurity curriculum to the needs of the healthcare industry, and plans to document this approach in a how-to guide to enable other colleges to apply it to different industry sectors. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025.
