Scholarship for Service for Public Health Applications

信息安全学院(ISI)的一个主要目标是培养具有全面信息技术基础的毕业生，同时对在政府和行业担任领导职位所需的一系列问题的国际、政治、法律和管理后果有深刻的理解，这些问题与信息安全与保障(IS&A；A)在社会中扮演的普遍和关键角色相关。卫生/医疗联邦信息基础设施是IS&A；A技术的关键应用领域。信息安全研究所与约翰·霍普金斯大学彭博公共卫生学院合作，可以通过安全信息学硕士(MSSI)计划满足这一需求，提供由相关课程组成的研究生教育经验，这些课程与研究/开发项目相结合，为公共卫生政策和实践的指导做准备。具备在联邦公共卫生部门担任领导角色的MSSI学生的毕业具有重大的短期影响，从更广泛的角度来看，这将意味着其他与卫生相关的教育机构可以采用一个经过验证的、成功的模式，以同样地满足这一关键的基础设施需求。在约翰·霍普金斯大学内部，该计划的成功证明有理由进行大量扩展，包括加强对代表不足的群体的参与的支持，发展兼职和在线场所，以及培养创新的教育政府/行业伙伴关系。

A primary goal of the Information Security Institute (ISI) is to produce graduates with comprehensive information technology foundations in conjunction with a robust understanding of the international, political, legal, and managerial ramifications of the range of issues needed to assume leadership positions in government and industry relevant to the pervasive and critical roles played by Information Security & Assurance (IS&A) in society. The health/medical federal information infrastructure represents a critical application domain for the IS&A technologies. The Information Security Institute in conjunction with the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University can address this need via the Masters of Science in Security Informatics (MSSI) program by providing a graduate educational experience comprised of relevant courses integrated with research/development projects that serve as preparation for guidance of public health policy and practices. The graduation of MSSI students well qualified to assume leadership roles in the federal public health sectors has significant short-term impact, and from a broader perspective would represent the availability of a proven, successful model for other health-related educational institutions to adopt in order to similarly address this critical infrastructure need. Within Johns Hopkins University, the success of the program justifies considerable expansion, including enhancement of the support of the participation of underrepresented groups, development of part-time and on-line venues, and cultivation of innovative educational government/industry partnerships.
