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（UMBC）的大学，在网络防御教育和研究的学术卓越的指定国家中心，建议继续和扩大其在CyberCorps（R）的参与：服务奖学金（SFS）计划，准备进入政府劳动力的高素质的网络安全专业人员。UMBC与蒙哥马利学院和乔治王子社区学院合作，为这些机构的学生提供支持。作为他们在社区大学学习的一部分，学生将通过一个特殊的应用研究课程帮助解决县政府的IT安全问题。然后，他们将转移到UMBC完成他们的四年制学位。UMBC为学生提供创新的技术研究机会，高素质的教师，专业曝光的机会，以及与附近众多公司，机构和政府实验室的实习和就业机会的生产性机构关系。UMBC的网络安全教育方法包括跨学科课程和创新的教学方法。SFS计划为解决网络安全教育和劳动力发展的项目提供资金，包括为网络安全学生提供奖学金。作为对奖学金的回报，获奖者将在毕业后为联邦，州，地方或部落政府组织工作，从事与网络安全相关的职位，时间与奖学金的期限相等。BA，BS，MS，结合BS/MS，MPS，或通过计算机科学（CS），计算机工程，并通过专业研究硕士：网络安全，在计算机科学和电气工程系。也欢迎来自相关领域，课程和部门的合格学生，包括电气工程，信息系统（IS），数学，物理，教育和公共政策。专门的网络安全轨道存在于CS和IS的本科生和研究生水平。UMBC信息安全和保证中心的学生有特殊的机会参与合作伙伴组织的指导研究项目，包括诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司，约翰霍普金斯大学应用物理实验室，国防部网络犯罪研究所，电信科学实验室和UMBC信息技术办公室。SFS的学生参加几个实验室内的研究活动，包括UMBC网络防御实验室，目前的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完整性的投票系统。每年，UMBC的所有SFS学者都参与一项合作应用研究，重点关注UMBC计算系统的某些方面。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
