The National Science Foundation Division of Graduate Education awarded North Dakota State University $199,842 on September 1, 2026, to develop CyberBridge, an AI-scaffolded interprofessional training platform for cyber incident response and digital forensics education, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). CyberBridge pairs digital forensic examiners and prosecutors in realistic cyber incident scenarios delivered through a web-based platform requiring no specialized hardware. The system integrates curriculum, simulated incidents, and a multi-agent AI architecture that provides domain coaching, collaboration mediation, session orchestration, and trust verification. A collaboration mediation agent identifies vocabulary mismatches, procedural misunderstandings, and evidentiary gaps and delivers adaptive scaffolds informed by the Zone of Proximal Development. The project develops an interprofessional scripted-collaboration model, reusable AI-agent skills, and a Delphi-validated competency framework aligned with the NICE Workforce Framework and American Bar Association standards. A quasi-experimental study will compare CyberBridge performance against domain-siloed tutoring by measuring domain competency, collaboration quality, and AI literacy. Major outputs will be released as open-source resources to support adoption by community colleges, regional universities, and law enforcement academies. Work is performed in Fargo, North Dakota, with a period of performance extending from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. The award is part of the CyberAI Corps Scholarship for Service (CyberAI SFS) program supporting national cybersecurity workforce education capacity.
