The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded $459,300 to the University of Washington on October 1, 2025, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop methodologies for understanding cyber-physical resilience in continuous critical manufacturing systems using Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) technologies. The project will build generalizable tools, detection measures, and control strategies to integrate IIoT network vulnerabilities with dynamic manufacturing processes, addressing gaps in current cyber-physical resilience solutions for complex systems. The work aims to eliminate barriers to developing new policies, regulations, and standards for IIoT applications in manufacturing and will extend methods and tools to other critical infrastructures to enhance national cyber-physical resilience. Education and outreach activities will introduce new courses and training materials to enhance students' exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies and data science and cybersecurity skills. The project includes K-12 outreach initiatives to promote understanding of IIoT and cyber-physical resilience and boost manufacturing careers, along with specially designed training software that addresses cybersecurity training in engineering language. Collaboration with industry stakeholders will inform the research and support adoption of findings. Performance runs from October 1, 2025, through June 30, 2029, at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. The assistance type is a Project Grant, which funds faculty early career development (CAREER) research under NSF's Engineering directorate.
