Computer Science (31)This project funds three two-year student cohorts. This project produces graduates who are committed to enter the federal workforce. The project includes both undergraduate and graduate students. All students in the program graduate with a Masters degree, as undergraduate students participating in the program are enrolled in a five-year combined Bachelors and Master program.Undergraduate students are primarily in the interdisciplinary cybersecurity degree program or in the computer science department with a focus on cybersecurity. Graduate scholars mainly pursue a security-related concentration program in computer science or computer/electrical engineering. Exceptionally qualified students with a security-related focus from other departments are also considered. Special attention is paid to hands-on activities that translate theory into practice. All students participate in research in their final year. The project consists of three phases: (1) recruiting students, (2) educating and mentoring the students, and (3) working with the students, OPM, and the federal agencies directly to ensure appropriate internship and permanent placements for the students. Intellectual Merit: The wide range of cybersecurity courses provides students with an education that prepares them thoroughly for careers as information assurance and computer security professionals. The PI team has strong technical credentials in computer security and industrial research experience that makes them particularly well-suited to run the program. This project builds upon two NSF SFS capacity building grants: one that supported the establishment of interdisciplinary degrees in cybersecurity and one that developed a hands-on cybersecurity lab and associated course.Broader Impacts: In addition to the direct and obvious benefits provided to the scholarship recipients and the federal agencies that hire them, the increased support for and attention to security also benefits other students and provides additional workforce development for both the government and private sectors. This project works with existing college support programs and engages in outreach activities with partner colleges and local K-12 schools.

计算机科学（31）本项目资助三个为期两年的学生队列。该项目培养的毕业生致力于进入联邦劳动力市场。该项目包括本科生和研究生。该项目所有学生毕业时都获得硕士学位，而参加该项目的本科生则参加为期五年的学士和硕士联合课程。本科学生主要是在跨学科的网络安全学位课程或计算机科学系，重点是网络安全。研究生主要攻读与安全相关的计算机科学或计算机/电气工程专业。特别合格的学生与安全相关的重点从其他部门也被考虑。课程特别注重将理论转化为实践的实践活动。所有学生在最后一年都要参加研究。该项目包括三个阶段：(1)招收学生；(2)教育和指导学生；(3)与学生、人事管理局和联邦机构直接合作，确保学生获得适当的实习和永久安置。智力优势：广泛的网络安全课程为学生提供了一个教育，为他们作为信息保障和计算机安全专业人员的职业做好了充分的准备。PI团队在计算机安全和工业研究经验方面拥有强大的技术证书，这使他们特别适合运行该计划。该项目建立在两项NSF SFS能力建设资助的基础上：一项支持建立网络安全跨学科学位，另一项支持开发动手网络安全实验室和相关课程。更广泛的影响：除了为奖学金获得者和雇用他们的联邦机构提供直接和明显的好处外，对安全的支持和关注的增加也使其他学生受益，并为政府和私营部门提供额外的劳动力发展。该项目与现有的大学支持计划合作，并与合作大学和当地K-12学校开展外展活动。
