Digital forensics is a critical area of forensic science research. New electronic devices and systems are constantly being developed, and these are at risk of being compromised by cybercriminals. The University of South Alabama will bring together academic researchers and industry/agency partners to identify specific projects in Digital Forensics Information Intelligence and work towards establishing a research site that would be part of a larger, multi-site Center for Advanced Research in Forensic Science. The researchers will focus on basic and fundamental research topics in digital forensics that will support industry innovation, economic growth, and national security by making new technologies safer and more secure. The University of South Alabama also has multiple, established channels for dissemination of research findings, K-12 science outreach, undergraduate and graduate student training, and support of diversity and the inclusion of underrepresented groups in the STEM sciences.The University of South Alabama will hold a planning meeting with the goal of establishing a research site in an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Advanced Research in Forensic Science (CARFS). The mission of the proposed Center is to provide a multidisciplinary forum for advancing research, innovation, and training in the forensic sciences. The University of South Alabama research site will focus on Digital Forensics Information Intelligence (DFII), which is the development, testing and implementation of novel approaches to detect and understand compromises to electronic devices, information systems, and software. The research site will undertake industry-collaborative, long-term research addressing such topics as malicious software analysis, detection and exploitation; and technology evaluation. Application areas include mobile devices, additive manufacturing, medical devices, and transportation systems. This is a critical area of research, given the constant development of new electronic devices and systems and their risk of compromise by cybercriminals. This planning grant is jointly supported by NSF and the National Institute of Justice.

数字取证是法医学研究的一个重要领域。新的电子设备和系统正在不断开发，这些设备和系统面临着被网络犯罪分子入侵的风险。南亚拉巴马大学将汇集学术研究人员和行业/机构合作伙伴，以确定数字取证信息智能的具体项目，并致力于建立一个研究网站，该网站将成为一个更大的多站点中心的一部分。研究人员将专注于数字取证的基础和基础研究课题，通过使新技术更安全，更安全，支持行业创新，经济增长和国家安全。南亚拉巴马大学还拥有多个成熟的渠道来传播研究成果、K-12科学外展、本科生和研究生培训、南亚拉巴马大学将举行一次规划会议，目标是在工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）建立一个研究基地。法医学高级研究（CARFS）。拟议中心的使命是为推进法医科学的研究、创新和培训提供一个多学科论坛。南亚拉巴马大学的研究中心将专注于数字取证信息智能（DFII），这是一种新方法的开发，测试和实施，以检测和理解对电子设备，信息系统和软件的损害。该研究网站将进行行业合作，长期研究，解决恶意软件分析，检测和利用等主题;和技术评估。应用领域包括移动的设备、增材制造、医疗设备和运输系统。这是一个关键的研究领域，因为新的电子设备和系统不断发展，而且有可能被网络犯罪分子破坏。这项规划赠款由NSF和国家司法研究所共同支持。
