Recognizing the importance of cybersecurity and the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals in federal agencies, the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Missouri-Columbia proposes a renewal of their existing CyberCorps®: Scholarship for Service (SFS) project. This Federal and University Training Union for Research and Education on Security (FUTURES) SFS project will address the need for cybersecurity professionals. It will provide master’s (MS) and doctoral (PhD) degree students with a state-of-the-art cybersecurity education that includes innovative hands-on learning experiences to prepare them for current and future cybersecurity threats. The development of a wide range of security-related courses and the research activities associated with this project will significantly expand cybersecurity education and research capabilities in the University of Missouri System. The FUTURES SFS project will also strengthen existing ties between the University and federal organizations. The curricula and research activities support the National Cyber Strategy and the need for robust cybersecurity technology, policy, and practices. Broader impacts of this project will include efforts to increase the number of minorities and women in cybersecurity professions. In addition, the project will perform outreach to disseminate cybersecurity knowledge to the community, including: K-12 teachers, middle and high school students, neighboring colleges, and the cybersecurity academic field.The FUTURES SFS project builds on the success and experience of the previously funded SFS project, strong institutional support, and the University of Missouri-Columbia’s designation as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Research (CAE-R) by the National Security Agency (NSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This project will provide scholars with high-quality cybersecurity research and educational activities, which include innovative experiential learning opportunities, dedicated diversity and inclusion support, and robust extracurricular and outreach activities. Undergraduate and graduate level cybersecurity courses cover all the categories and most specialty areas specified by the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework. Each scholar will be required to complete at least 18 credit hours of lecture courses on cybersecurity, and 12 or 54 cybersecurity research credit hours towards an MS or PhD thesis, respectively. Service-learning courses, which combine academic coursework with relevant and impactful service to the community, will provide the scholars with innovative experiential learning. Outreach and dissemination activities will take the form of seminars, workshops, and summer camps organized by the SFS scholars and the project team, as well as research publications and presentations to academic and professional societies. The university has established an Education Partnership Agreement with several federal agencies and the project team has extensive collaborations with federal organizations such as the National Science Foundation, NSA, National Institutes of Health and DHS, which will provide direct channels for SFS scholars to secure internships as well as permanent jobs. This project is supported by the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program, which funds proposals establishing or continuing scholarship programs in cybersecurity and aligns with the U.S. National Cyber Strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce. Following graduation, scholarship recipients are required to work in cybersecurity for a federal, state, local, or tribal Government organization for the same duration as their scholarship support.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.

认识到网络安全的重要性和联邦机构中熟练的网络安全专业人员的短缺，密苏里-哥伦比亚大学电气工程和计算机科学系提议更新其现有的CyberCorps®：服务奖学金（SFS）项目。这个联邦和大学安全研究和教育培训联盟（未来）项目将解决对网络安全专业人员的需求。它将为硕士（MS）和博士（PhD）学位的学生提供最先进的网络安全教育，包括创新的实践学习经验，为他们应对当前和未来的网络安全威胁做好准备。与此项目相关的广泛的安全相关课程和研究活动的开发将显著扩展密苏里大学系统的网络安全教育和研究能力。期货科学基金项目还将加强大学与联邦组织之间的现有联系。课程和研究活动支持国家网络战略以及对强大的网络安全技术、政策和实践的需求。该项目的更广泛影响将包括努力增加网络安全专业中少数民族和女性的数量。此外，该项目将开展外展活动，向社区传播网络安全知识，包括：K-12教师、初高中学生、邻近大学和网络安全学术领域。期货SFS项目建立在先前资助的SFS项目的成功和经验、强大的机构支持以及密苏里-哥伦比亚大学被国家安全局（NSA）和国土安全部（DHS）指定为国家网络防御研究学术卓越中心（CAE-R）的基础上。该项目将为学者提供高质量的网络安全研究和教育活动，包括创新的体验式学习机会、专门的多样性和包容性支持，以及丰富的课外活动和外展活动。本科和研究生级别的网络安全课程涵盖了国家网络安全教育倡议（NICE）网络安全劳动力框架指定的所有类别和大多数专业领域。每位学者将被要求完成至少18个学分的网络安全讲座课程，以及12或54个学分的网络安全研究，分别完成硕士或博士论文。服务学习课程将学术课程与对社区的相关和有影响力的服务相结合，为学者提供创新的体验式学习。外展和宣传活动将由资助计划的学者和项目团队举办研讨会、工作坊和夏令营，以及向学术和专业团体发表研究出版物和报告。我校与多个联邦机构建立了教育合作协议，项目组与美国国家科学基金会、国家安全局、国家卫生研究院和国土安全部等联邦组织有广泛的合作，这将为SFS学者提供获得实习和长期工作的直接渠道。该项目由CyberCorps®服务奖学金（SFS）计划支持，该计划为建立或继续网络安全奖学金计划的提案提供资金，并与美国国家网络战略保持一致，以培养优秀的网络安全劳动力。毕业后，奖学金获得者必须在联邦、州、地方或部落政府组织的网络安全部门工作，工作时间与奖学金支持时间相同。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
