With various sources of funding, graduate students and early-career faculty in cybersecurity are able to participate in conferences in their area of research and have an opportunity to interact with other researchers. However, there seems to be much less support for faculty or doctoral students to attend conferences on cybersecurity education. Consequently, there seems to be a shortage of representation of faculty from doctoral institutions among cybersecurity education community. Yet, it is those institutions and faculty who produce the next generation of professors educating the future cybersecurity workforce.The funding from NSF will support US-based early-career tenure-track cybersecurity faculty and PhD students at research universities to attend the Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education. Since 1996, the Colloquium brings together professionals in academia, industry, and government to provide a forum to discuss and advance cybersecurity education at large. The 2016 Colloquium, which marks the 20th anniversary of the conference, will be held on June 13-15, 2016 in Philadelphia, PA and it will consist of a three-day technical program with optional workshops right before the conference.The project intends to have a diverse representation among the travel grant recipients in terms of gender, ethnic background, academic institutions, and geographic location. While the grant recipients are the most immediate beneficiaries, the community in general will benefit by connecting with a new group of students and faculty that will likely become active contributors in the years to come. This effort is supporting the critical need of the cybersecurity workforce development. A specific broadening participation efforts are reflected by prioritizing applicants traditionally underrepresented in cybersecurity including women, African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Native Pacific Islanders.

有了各种资金来源，研究生和网络安全的早期职业教师能够参加他们研究领域的会议，并有机会与其他研究人员互动。然而，教师或博士生参加网络安全教育会议的支持似乎要少得多。因此，网络安全教育界似乎缺乏博士机构的教师代表。然而，正是这些机构和教师培养了下一代教授，教育未来的网络安全劳动力。NSF的资金将支持美国的早期职业终身制网络安全教师和研究型大学的博士生参加信息系统安全教育研讨会。自1996年以来，学术讨论会汇集了学术界，工业界和政府的专业人士，为讨论和推进网络安全教育提供了一个论坛。2016年学术讨论会将于2016年6月13日至15日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行，为期三天的技术项目将在会议前举行，并有可选的研讨会。该项目旨在让旅行资助获得者在性别，种族背景，学术机构和地理位置方面具有多样化的代表性。虽然赠款接受者是最直接的受益者，但社区一般将受益于与新的学生和教师群体的联系，这些学生和教师可能会在未来几年成为积极的贡献者。这一努力正在支持网络安全劳动力发展的迫切需要。 一个具体的扩大参与的努力反映在优先考虑申请人传统上代表性不足的网络安全，包括妇女，非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔，美洲原住民和土著太平洋岛民。
