The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $897,563 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida. The "FORCORE" (Fortifying Cyberinfrastructure for Research and Education) project aims to implement scalable, risk-based security solutions to defend against cyber threats and secure sensitive research data for smaller, teaching-focused institutions as they expand their research missions. The project will evaluate real-time monitoring, automated incident response, and context-aware authentication methods to improve data integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility for faculty and students engaged in multi-institutional, data-intensive research projects. Key metrics will be used to assess the effectiveness of these adaptive, behavior-based security controls in preserving usability while mitigating cyber risks in academic settings. The insights gained from this research-driven project are intended to serve as a model for other under-resourced institutions to strengthen their cyberinfrastructure while advancing their research and student success goals.
