The University of South Florida (USF) was awarded a $1,625,000 Project Grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Congressionally-Identified Projects program (CFDA 11.617). The key objectives of this grant are to:
-
Create an effective infrastructure to meet the requirements of U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) and grow the National Security Higher Education Network (NSHDN) by renovating approximately 2,000 square feet of existing building space on USF's Tampa campus. This will provide a dedicated workspace for NSHDN researchers and research activities.
-
Build the computing-intensive infrastructure to enable projects that advance the NSHDN's mission and support America's national security objectives.
The grant will establish a foundation to support expanded research and development into the human dynamics aspects of cybersecurity. Success will be measured through key performance indicators such as the number of participating students, their graduation and hiring rates, curriculum updates, new research initiatives, and additional funding attracted.
