UNM Information Assurance Scholarship for Service Program

CyberCorps：服务奖学金（SFS）计划在新墨西哥州（UNM）的大学准备至少18个高素质的信息保障（IA）和安全专业人员在联邦，州，地方和部落政府机构的服务。UNM的程序是不同于其他IA程序，它解决了IA理论，技术和真实的世界实践之间的“应用鸿沟”，并在组织的行为，组织和经济背景下应用IA技术。除了课程外，课程内容还包括：由UNM，桑迪亚国家实验室和英特尔共同设计的研究研讨会，重点是创造性问题解决理论;每月专业发展研讨会;和在线学习社区。UNM是一所西班牙裔服务机构，37%的学生是西班牙裔，它招收的美国原住民比全国任何其他研究型大学都多（11.3%）。该项目为SFS学生制定了非常雄心勃勃的招生目标：40%的少数民族和40%的女性。该计划的结果被传播，以帮助复制这种使用IA概念和技术直接解决行为，组织和经济因素的模型。

The CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at the University of New Mexico (UNM) prepares at least 18 highly qualified Information Assurance (IA) and security professionals for service in federal, state, local, and tribal governmental agencies. UNM's program is distinct from other IA programs in that it addresses the "application divide" between IA theory, technology and real world practice, and applies IA technology within the behavioral, organizational, and economic context of organizations. In addition to the coursework, program components include: a research seminar co-designed by UNM, Sandia National Laboratory and Intel which focuses on the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving; monthly professional development workshops; and an online learning community. UNM is a Hispanic Serving Institution with 37% of the students being of Hispanic origin and it enrolls more Native Americans than any other research university in the country (11.3%). The project defines very ambitious enrollment targets for SFS students: 40% minority and 40% female. The program results are disseminated to help replicating this model of using IA concepts and technology to directly address the behavioral, organizational and economic factors.
