The goal of this project is to facilitate increased interest in cybersecurity careers and cybersecurity hygiene through a research workshop for graduate students interested in cybersecurity. To encourage participation, the project proposes to provide support to students to attend the workshop and associated Conference on Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice (CCERP). The proposed workshop will recruit recognized security research faculty to serve as mentors to selected graduate students chosen based on proposed research projects in cybersecurity. In addition, the project will support undergraduate research in Cybersecurity Hygiene by funding stipends for undergraduate students to attend the conference and conduct poster sessions. These undergraduate students will be encouraged to create and present poster sessions during the main conference day. The support provided by this grant will improve the visibility and understanding of the topic of cybersecurity hygiene as the theme of the conference and undergraduate presentations. An increase in cybersecurity professionals and an increase in cybersecurity understanding will directly and indirectly benefit society through increased information protection and privacy. The proposed improvements to the conference will directly support national efforts like the Strategic Plan for the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE), and the White House Cybersecurity National Action Plan (CNAP). The conference and proposed workshop will focus on increasing the knowledge and understanding of participants by concentrating on the need for an increased cybersecurity workforce as well as on practices used to increase awareness of recommended practices in developing curriculum for increasing awareness of cybersecurity hygiene. Also, improving the research methods of graduate students by linking them with mentors who are established researchers and offering them an exposure to an academic conference will encourage the development of future cybersecurity faculty. These activities will enable the participants to take lessons learned back to their home institution and share with colleagues and future students, improving the quality of cybersecurity education and hygiene within their institutions. The results of the conference will be disseminated through the open access publication of proceedings. Best papers of the conference will be published in the Journal of Cybersecurity Education Research and Practice (JCERP).

该项目的目标是通过为对网络安全感兴趣的研究生举办研究研讨会，促进人们对网络安全职业和网络安全卫生的兴趣增加。为了鼓励参与，该项目建议向学生提供支持，让他们参加网络安全教育、研究和实践(CCERP)研讨会和相关会议。拟议的研讨会将招聘公认的安全研究教师作为导师，根据拟议的网络安全研究项目挑选选定的研究生。此外，该项目将通过资助本科生参加会议和进行海报会议的津贴来支持网络安全卫生学的本科生研究。这些本科生将被鼓励在主会议日期间创作和展示海报会议。这笔赠款提供的支持将提高作为会议和本科生演讲主题的网络安全卫生这一主题的可见度和理解。网络安全专业人员的增加和对网络安全的了解的增加将通过加强信息保护和隐私而直接和间接地造福社会。对会议提出的改进将直接支持国家努力，如国家网络安全教育倡议战略计划(NICE)和白宫网络安全国家行动计划(CNAP)。会议和拟议的讲习班将侧重于增加网络安全工作人员的需要，以及在制定提高网络安全卫生意识的课程时用来提高对建议做法的认识的做法，从而增加与会者的知识和理解。此外，通过将研究生与知名研究人员的导师联系起来，并为他们提供参加学术会议的机会，改善研究生的研究方法，将鼓励未来网络安全教师的发展。这些活动将使参与者能够将学到的经验教训带回自己的机构，并与同事和未来的学生分享，提高其机构内的网络安全教育和卫生的质量。会议成果将通过会议记录的开放获取出版物传播。会议的最佳论文将发表在《网络安全教育研究与实践》杂志(JCERP)上。
