This award funds a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Missouri University of Science and Technology. Each summer a cohort of undergraduate students will work with faculty in small groups to design, implement, and evaluate research projects involving secure cloud computing, an emerging research area that is current and important to our national interests. The research projects involve security, trust, and privacy in cloud computing. The use of secure cloud technology offers an effective means for establishing secure cyberinfrastructures to develop a wide variety of applications that are used by citizens and that support our technology-based society. Thus the students and researchers have the opportunity to explore problems that are important and timely and relevant to all our citizens. This project builds human capacity in computing and communications research and knowledge. The program will provide experiences to undergraduate students that may influence their choices about further education and future careers and continue to give them confidence to pursue these choices and thus increase the size and diversity of the scientific workforce. The site will focus on recruiting females and students from groups under-represented in computing fields as well as students from 2 and 4 year institutions. The students will participate in professional development activities that make them more aware of graduate school and professional aspects of a computing career. The students will be able to use the state-of-the-art facilities available at the university and interact with faculty mentors to conduct challenging and timely research on emerging technologies fundamental to developing trustworthy systems for the future.

该奖项资助密苏里科技大学本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。 每年夏天，一批本科生将与教师组成小组合作，设计、实施和评估涉及安全云计算的研究项目，安全云计算是一个新兴的研究领域，对我们的国家利益至关重要。研究项目涉及云计算中的安全、信任和隐私。 安全云技术的使用提供了建立安全网络基础设施的有效手段，以开发供公民使用并支持我们以技术为基础的社会的各种应用程序。 因此，学生和研究人员有机会探索重要、及时且与我们所有公民相关的问题。 该项目培养人类在计算和通信研究和知识方面的能力。该计划将为本科生提供可能影响他们对继续教育和未来职业选择的经验，并继续给予他们追求这些选择的信心，从而增加科学劳动力的规模和多样性。该网站将重点招募计算机领域代表性不足的女性和学生，以及来自两年制和四年制院校的学生。 学生将参加专业发展活动，使他们更加了解研究生院和计算机职业的专业方面。学生将能够使用大学最先进的设施，并与教师导师互动，对新兴技术进行具有挑战性和及时的研究，这些技术对于开发未来值得信赖的系统至关重要。
