This project at the University of Southern Mississippi in collaboration with Auburn University is providing students with hands-on information technology training and education in spectator sports safety and security cyberinfrastructure. The funded activity also prepares sports security professionals to use customized tools. This consists of 1) development of a set of first-of-its-kind training resources for spectator sports safety and security cyberinfrastructure including aunifed platform, a customized curriculum, and training material and 2) summer programs to train students and sports security professionals on the developed system modules and tools through exercises - including an evacuation drill. The training resources to be developed in this project will accommodate unique information technologies to meet spectator sports safety and security requirements. The National Center for Spectator Safety and Security is also working with the institutions on this project through funding from the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency. This exploratory project also engages students and faculty from partnering one junior college and two community colleges.Intellectual Merit: The project insights, experiences, and conclusions will open and foster an interdisciplinary field between information technology and sports safety and security management. The outcomes from this project will provide a foundation for further research and education efforts, and resource development in this new discipline.Broader Impacts: The engagement of students in the development of the training resources will cultivate their advanced scientific and engineering skills in spectator sports safety and security cyberinfrastructure that can be carried forward for future advanced research, engineering and administration of systems. The customized curriculum and material is the first endeavor dedicated to the training of a special type of workforce requiring interdisciplinary knowledge between information technology and spectator sports security management. This work will continue after this project and contribute to a new concentration area currently in active preparation. Further, sports security management will directly benefit from this work. Millions of spectators will be better protected through the use of advanced technologies and by a workforce with the knowledge, skills and experience in the use of those technologies. In addition, all the resources from this project will be disseminated as open source for broad impact.Underrepresented Groups: The PIs use proactive strategies to recruit and retention of underrepresented students in this domain. In 2009, 11% of the African American Ph.D. graduates in Computer Science nationwide were produced from Auburn University. At the University of Southern Mississippi, nearly 28% of the undergraduate student population for fall 2009 was African-American. The PIs are committed to continuing to attract and mentor students from underrepresented groups to this project.

南密西西比大学与奥本大学合作的这个项目正在为学生提供观众体育安全和安全网络基础设施方面的动手信息技术培训和教育。资助的活动还准备体育安全专业人员使用定制的工具。这包括：1）为观众体育安全和安全网络基础设施开发一套一流的培训资源，包括统一的平台，定制的课程和培训材料; 2）暑期课程，通过演习（包括疏散演习）培训学生和体育安全专业人员开发系统模块和工具。本项目开发的培训资源将采用独特的信息技术，以满足观众体育安全和安保要求。 国家观众安全与保障中心也在通过密西西比国土安全办公室和密西西比紧急事务管理局的资助，与各机构合作开展这一项目。这个探索性的项目也吸引了来自一所专科学校和两所社区大学的学生和教师。智力优势：该项目的见解，经验和结论将打开和促进信息技术和体育安全和安全管理之间的跨学科领域。该项目的成果将为这一新学科的进一步研究和教育工作以及资源开发提供基础。更广泛的影响：学生参与培训资源的开发将培养他们在观众体育安全和安全网络基础设施方面的先进科学和工程技能，这些技能可以用于未来的高级研究，工程和系统管理。定制的课程和材料是第一奋进致力于培训需要信息技术和观众体育安全管理之间的跨学科知识的特殊类型的劳动力。这项工作将在该项目结束后继续进行，并将为目前正在积极筹备的一个新的集中领域作出贡献。此外，体育安全管理将直接受益于这项工作。 通过使用先进技术和拥有使用这些技术的知识、技能和经验的工作人员，数百万观众将得到更好的保护。此外，该项目的所有资源都将作为开放资源进行传播，以产生广泛的影响。代表性不足的群体：PI采用积极主动的策略来招募和保留该领域代表性不足的学生。2009年，11%的非裔美国人博士全国计算机科学专业的毕业生来自奥本大学。在南密西西比大学，2009年秋季近28%的本科生是非洲裔美国人。PI致力于继续吸引和指导来自代表性不足群体的学生参加这个项目。
