- The National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems awarded $344,911 to Rochester Institute of Technology on April 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to defend machine learning models from adversarial threats through unified interpretability and attribution methods. The research develops a layered defense framework across four technical thrusts: scalable attribution techniques that combine gradient-based influence...
The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Rochester Institute of Technology $223,234 on October 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and pilot five portable, hands-on instructional modules that integrate multi-cloud computing, machine learning operations, and cybersecurity through inquiry-based learning. Project NIMBUS will create a practice-oriented security sandbox available in both free, open-source and commercial cloud versions, designed to lower adoption barriers for community colleges, minority-serving institutions, and universities with varying levels of technical infrastructure. Students will investigate broken-by-design machine learning pipelines and perform structured threat analysis, guided by situated learning and the 5E instructional model (engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate). The project addresses the national need for undergraduate education that treats cloud computing, machine learning, and cybersecurity as integrated subjects rather than separate domains, building practical reasoning about how security failures emerge when data, models, software, identities, and cloud services interact. Development, piloting, and study activities occur at Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Alabama. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2029, with place of performance in Rochester, New York.
