- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 EAGER (Early-Concept Grants for Exploratory Research) project grant under the CISE (Computer and Information Science and Engineering) Federal Grant Program to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The grant, titled "NAIRR PILOT: Applying NAIRR Pilot Resources to Optimize AI-Ready Data Investments," aims to demonstrate how the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) pilot resources can facilitate the...
This $600,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund the AICYBERLAKE project at the University of Illinois. The project aims to curate a security data lake by sourcing cyberattack data from the DELTAAI system at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and other supercomputing centers. The resulting data lake will provide a real-time, anonymized stream of attack attempts to vetted research teams for evaluating their AI-based detection models against unseen adversaries. The project will also contribute attack metadata to policy organizations like NIST and CISA to reinforce public trust in running AI workloads within cyberinfrastructure, provide practical exercises by reproducing novel attack traces, and help educate the next generation of cybersecurity AI researchers. The award is effective from August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2028.
