- The National Science Foundation awarded Louisiana State University $302,955 on September 1, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to develop a systematic measure of AI-mediated appropriability risk—the extent to which a field's open scientific record, combined with frontier AI capabilities, allows outsiders to predict and potentially preempt near-term research outputs. The project addresses three connected research questions. The team develops a measurement instrument...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Bowie State University $255,975 on October 1, 2026, to design an adaptive attack risk estimation framework for proactive cyber threat detection. The project will develop a machine learning and data analysis framework to identify early warning signs of network vulnerability by examining patterns across multiple data sources and tracking how these patterns change as attacks unfold. The framework will examine context-aware temporal and spatial features of network activity to predict network event frequencies and estimate attack severity, and will generate data-driven rules that link extracted features to specific attacks. Project outcomes will include new methods for learning and representing changing indicators of network vulnerability and for translating these insights into effective defense strategies. Work is performed in Bowie, Maryland, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2028. The Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports capacity-building and infrastructure development for the nation's STEM enterprise. The project will also build research capacity at two institutions by engaging students in advanced cybersecurity research, preparing the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
