The University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), a designated National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education and Research, proposes to continue and expand its participation in the CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) program to prepare highly-qualified cybersecurity professionals for entry into the government workforce. UMBC partners with Montgomery College and Prince George's Community College to support sophomores at these institutions. As a part of their studies in community college, students will help solve IT security problems for their county government through a special applied research course. Then, they will transfer to UMBC to complete their four-year degrees. UMBC offers students innovative technical research opportunities, highly qualified faculty, opportunities for professional exposure, and productive institutional relationships with numerous nearby companies, agencies, and government laboratories for internships and job placement. UMBC's approach to cybersecurity education embraces an interdisciplinary curriculum and innovative pedagogical approaches. The SFS program funds projects that address cybersecurity education and workforce development, including funding to award scholarships to students in cybersecurity. In return for their scholarships, recipients will work after graduation for a Federal, State, Local, or Tribal Government organization in a position related to Cybersecurity for a period equal to the length of the scholarship.SFS scholars at UMBC pursue a range of degrees: BA, BS, MS, combined BS/MS, MPS, or PhD through existing programs in Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering, and through the Masters in Professional Studies: Cybersecurity, in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. Qualified students from related fields, programs, and departments also are welcome, including from Electrical Engineering, Information Systems (IS), Mathematics, Physics, Education, and Public Policy. Dedicated cybersecurity tracks exist at the undergraduate and graduate levels in CS and IS. Students at the UMBC Center for Information Security and Assurance have special opportunities to engage in mentored research projects at partner organizations, including Northrop Grumman, John Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, Department of Defense Cyber Crime Institute, Laboratory for Telecommunications Sciences, and the UMBC Office of Information Technology. SFS students participate in research activities within several labs, including the UMBC Cyber Defense Lab, where current projects include educational cybersecurity assessment tools, protocol analysis, software defined networks, and high-integrity voting systems. Each year, all SFS scholars at UMBC engage in a collaborative applied research study focusing on some aspect of UMBC's computing systems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

马里兰州巴尔的摩县大学（UMBC）是指定的网络国防教育和研究学术卓越学术中心，建议继续并扩大其参与网络科目（R）：服务奖学金（SFS）计划，以准备高度合格的网络安全专业人员，以使其成为政府劳动力。 UMBC与蒙哥马利学院和乔治王子社区学院合作，以支持这些机构的大二学生。作为他们在社区学院学习的一部分，学生将通过特殊的应用研究课程帮助解决其县政府的IT安全问题。然后，他们将转移到UMBC以完成四年学位。 UMBC为学生提供了创新的技术研究机会，高素质的教职员工，专业曝光的机会以及与附近的众多公司，机构和政府实验室实习和职位安置的富有成效的机构关系。 UMBC的网络安全教育方法采用了跨学科课程和创新的教学方法。 SFS计划资助了针对网络安全教育和劳动力发展的项目，其中包括为网络安全学生授予奖学金的资金。作为奖学金的回报，接收者将在联邦，州，地方或部落政府组织毕业后与网络安全有关的位置工作，该期间等于奖学金的长度。网络安全，计算机科学与电气工程系。也欢迎来自相关领域，计划和部门的合格学生，包括电气工程，信息系统（IS），数学，物理，教育和公共政策。专用的网络安全轨迹存在于CS和IS的本科和研究生水平。 UMBC信息安全和保证中心的学生有特殊的机会，可以在合作伙伴组织中参与指导的研究项目，包括Northrop Grumman，John Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab，国防网络犯罪研究所，电信科学实验室和UMBC信息技术办公室。 SFS学生参加了包括UMBC网络辩护实验室在内的多个实验室的研究活动，当前项目包括教育网络安全评估工具，协议分析，软件定义的网络和高融合投票系统。每年，UMBC的所有SFS学者都参与了一项针对UMBC计算系统某些方面的合作应用研究研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子的评估来支持支持的，并具有更广泛的影响。
