- The federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $305,000.00 to Beesafe Labs, LLC to develop an automated, scalable intelligence-gathering system capable of intercepting, tracing, and aggregating data on social engineering cyber-attacks. The goal is to create a defensive artificial intelligence technology that can shift the cybersecurity paradigm from reactive damage control to proactive prevention,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program awarded a $151,693 Project Grant to Florida International University (FIU) to conduct research on socio-technical interventions against AI-generated abuse. The research team is technically characterizing the current and future ecosystem of online abuse attacks using AI and developing mitigations to make abuse tools harder to access and use, while also decreasing attackers'...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $155,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The grant supports a collaborative research project led by the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop practical generative AI tools for enhancing the performance of security classifiers used to detect cybersecurity threats. The key focus is on addressing data challenges that often limit the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to New York University (NYU) to investigate the risks of AI-generated code in the software supply chain. The 3-year project, which began on June 1, 2024, aims to: (i) develop techniques to distinguish human-written code from AI-generated code, (ii) measure the prevalence and security implications of AI-generated code in open-source software, and (iii)...
- This Project Grant award of $120,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program supports research to advance the mathematical foundations of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models, particularly diffusion models. The award enables researchers at the University of Missouri System to develop new theoretical tools to elucidate how flow-based generative models produce novel outputs and extend these models to...
- This $280,050 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports the University of Washington's collaborative research to develop socio-technical interventions against the growing threat of AI-generated abuse. The project aims to technically characterize the current and future ecosystem of online abuse attacks using AI, and develop mitigations to make abuse tools harder to access and use, as well as reduce...
This federal Project Grant award of $599,656 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, awarded on October 1, 2025, supports research to understand and detect online scams powered by generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). The key objectives are to examine demographic, psychological, and behavioral factors that increase susceptibility to online scams, identify protective strategies, and develop innovative detection tools and explainable warning systems. The research team at the University of Tulsa will conduct longitudinal and multimodal analysis of scammer tactics, including detecting the use of GenAI to generate deceptive profiles and communications. The project outcomes will include open-access datasets of human-crafted and AI-generated scam content, as well as a context-aware detection and multi-stage warning system powered by large language models to support users in recognizing and avoiding online scams.
