Renewal: Scholarship for Service @ Carnegie Mellon

卡内基梅隆大学（CMU）是网络防御教育，研究和网络运营的指定国家学术卓越中心，建议继续并扩大其参与CyberCorps（R）：服务奖学金（SFS）计划，以准备高素质的网络安全专业人员进入政府工作队伍。该项目将通过跨学科的信息安全硕士课程塑造严格的教育经验，为国家的网络安全劳动力做好准备;与同行机构一起参与学习和研究社区，丰富元课程计划;和社区外展机会。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。作为奖学金的回报，获得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。迄今为止，美国联邦政府已经雇佣了198名卡内基梅隆大学SFS毕业生，他们已经在国防部服务和保护国家的信息基础设施，国家安全局、联邦资助的研究和发展中心（FFRDC）和许多其他联邦组织。网络安全学术课程的特点是技术，跨学科的课程，结合了来自工程，计算机科学，商业和政策方面的顶级大学的商业和政策观点。CMU的CyLab是一家安全和隐私研究机构，是SFS计划中丰富的安全和隐私活动的焦点。CyLab致力于跨学科和跨学科的研究和教育，拥有来自多个部门的109名教师，包括计算机科学，软件研究所，公共政策海因茨学院，信息网络研究所，电气和计算机工程等等。CyLab是一个研究中心，涉及技术和社会问题，经济问题和政策问题。领先的网络安全研究人员、调查人员和教师与SFS学生并肩工作，探索和推进软件安全、密码学、逆向工程、隐私、生物识别和网络取证等关键领域。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力审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), a designated National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education, Research and Cyber Operations, 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. This project will prepare the nation's cybersecurity workforce through a rigorous educational experience shaped by an interdisciplinary master's programs in Information Security; participation in learning and research communities with peer institutions, enriching meta-curricular initiatives; and community outreach opportunities. 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.To date, the U.S. federal government has hired 198 Carnegie Mellon SFS graduates who have gone on to serve and protect the nation's information infrastructure at the Department of Defense, National Security Agency, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC) and many other federal organizations. Academic programs in cybersecurity feature technical, interdisciplinary coursework that incorporates business and policy perspectives from top-ranked colleges in engineering, computer science, business, and policy. CMU's CyLab, a security and privacy research institute, serves as a focal point for the wealth of security and privacy activity across the SFS program. CyLab is committed to interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research and education, with 109 faculty from many departments, including Computer Science, Institute for Software Research, Heinz College of Public Policy, Information Networking Institute, Electrical and Computer Engineering and many more. CyLab is a hub for research that touches technical and societal problems, economic issues, and policy questions. Leading cybersecurity researchers, investigators and teaching faculty work side by side with SFS students to explore and advance critical areas such as software security, cryptography, reverse engineering, privacy, biometrics and cyber forensics.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.
