The National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) awarded $199,853 to the University of Illinois, with performance in Urbana, IL, for the EAGER: REDTEAM (Research Environment Defense Through Expert Attack Modeling) project. The project, running from March 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, will deliver research security frameworks and evidence-based recommendations developed through scenario-based tabletop exercises and red teaming methodologies. The primary deliverables include two facilitated workshops employing role-playing game architectures and nuanced, realistic security scenarios to conduct threat modeling specific to academic research environments. The project addresses the tension between collaborative academic research and national security requirements by identifying behavioral and contextual drivers of security vulnerabilities that traditional threat models overlook. Rather than generating compliance-focused outputs, the workshops will produce actionable research security frameworks that preserve scientific openness while safeguarding research investments from foreign interference, with recommendations designed to enhance NSF's trust framework for research security. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
