Dual Masters Program in Security Infomatics and Public Health Federal Cyber Service Scholarship for Service (Capacity Building Track)

目前由NSF在约翰霍普金斯大学信息安全研究所（JHUISI）支持的联邦网络服务奖学金服务奖学金计划正在培养信息和计算机安全专业人员，他们准备解决日益关键的公共卫生领域。目前由NSF SFS队列计划支持的所有JHUISI学生正在攻读安全信息学（MSSI）硕士学位，要求包括信息安全和保证（IS A）课程以及与健康相关的隐私，政策，法律和信息学课程。为了实现这一目标，位于怀汀工程学院（WSE）的JHUISI MSSI计划与JHU彭博公共卫生学院（BSPH）开展了合作。该项目正在扩大目前的能力，提供专业人员准备解决信息安全和保证的未来公共卫生应用，通过开发一个独特的两年制双硕士课程，其中学生既获得JHUISI提供的MSSI学位，又获得BSPH提供的健康科学硕士（MHS）学位。双MSSI/MHS硕士课程是整合课程（新的和现有的），实验室，研究项目，以及来自华盛顿理工学院和约翰霍普金斯大学的BSPH的两种不同学术文化的实习生，以培养满足信息保证需求的人才公共卫生专业人员。公共卫生基础设施的最高层一再强调这一活动的相关性和重要性，要求提供以消费者为中心和信息丰富的保健服务。为实现这一目标，需要经过适当培训的个人在公共卫生联邦机构中发挥关键作用。更广泛的影响：IS A技术在公共卫生问题上的应用尚处于起步阶段，类似于几十年前的生物医学应用。潜在的挑战来自于信息技术与隐私、政策和法律的必要融合。双MSSI/MHS硕士课程正在为解决健康相关信息这一重要方向创造蓝图是一种教育和研究。

The Federal Cyber Service Scholarship for Service Scholarship Program currently supported by NSF at the Johns Hopkins University Information Security Institute (JHUISI) is developing information and computer security professionals who are prepared to address the increasingly critical field of public health. All JHUISI students currently supported by the NSF SFS cohort program are pursuing a Master of Science in Security Informatics (MSSI) degree with requirements which include information security and assurance (IS&A) courses and courses in health-related privacy, policy, law, and informatics. To accomplish this, the JHUISI MSSI program based in the Whiting School of Engineering (WSE) has developed collaborations with the JHU Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH). This project is expanding current capabilities for providing professionals prepared to address the future public health applications of information security and assurance by developing a unique two-year dual masters program in which students are earning both the MSSI degree offered by JHUISI and the Master of Health Sciences (MHS) degree offered by BSPH.Intellectual Merit: The dual MSSI/MHS masters program is integrating courses (both new and existing), labs, research projects, and internships from the two different academic cultures within the WSE and the BSPH at Johns Hopkins to produce individuals trained to meet the demand for information assurance professionals in public health. The relevance and importance of this activity is being repeatedly underscored at the highest levels of the public health infrastructure by mandates to deliver consumer- centric and information-rich health care. The need for individuals appropriately trained to play key roles within public health federal agencies to achieve this goal is acute.Broader Impact: The application of IS&A technologies to public health issues is in its infancy, analogous to where biomedical applications stood decades ago. The underlying challenges result from the necessary mergers of information technology with privacy, policy, and law. The dual MSSI/MHS masters program is creating a blueprint for addressing this important direction for health related information IS&A education and research.
