This project is building on an existing effort at the awardee institution which has successfully recruited, educated, and placed diverse undergraduate and graduate students into cybersecurity positions in government agencies. This renewal project will recruit and educate an additional 22 undergraduate and graduate students in government agencies, committing to place over 80% of its graduates in federal executive agencies. The renewal will continue an established collaboration with Forsyth Technical Community College, enabling three new cohorts of community college students to complete their undergraduate degrees at UNC Charlotte. Project activities will improve curricula and organizational programming and benefit a large number of cybersecurity and computing students at the two institutions. All graduates from these degree programs will, in turn, provide critical cybersecurity skills to the organizations that employ them, both within the government and the private sector.Students in this project will undertake a breadth of experiences, including an innovative cybersecurity curricula, hands-on training opportunities through courses and cybersecurity competitions, research opportunities with faculty in various cybersecurity problem areas, and student leadership and community service through multiple cybersecurity-focused student clubs at UNC Charlotte and Forsyth Technical Community College. The project team will focus on expanding education and research in cyber defense training, usable security and privacy, and cyber analytics. The project team will also expand activities in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyberphysical systems and expand its evaluation capability. Course materials and exercises from the three focus areas will be shared broadly. The shared materials will expand faculty capacity at SFS-supported projects and cybersecurity programs at other institutions, to train students in cyber defense, usable security, and cyber analytics. Project evaluation materials will also provide other SFS sites with enhanced ability to improve their programmatic efforts, benefitting students at institutions around the country.This project is supported by the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program, which funds proposals establishing or continuing scholarship programs in cybersecurity that 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.

该项目是基于获奖者机构的现有努力，该机构已成功地招募，教育并将潜水员的本科生和研究生置于政府机构的网络安全职位。这个更新项目将在政府机构招募和教育22名本科生和研究生，并承诺将其80％以上的毕业生纳入联邦执行机构。续约将继续与福赛斯技术社区学院建立合作，使三个新的社区大学生能够在UNC夏洛特完成本科学位。项目活动将改善课程和组织编程，并受益于两个机构的大量网络安全和计算学生。这些学位课程的所有毕业生反过来又将为雇用政府和私营部门的组织提供关键的网络安全技能。该项目中的研究人员将进行全面的经验，包括通过网络安全课程，动手培训，通过课程以及通过各种网络竞争和各种cybersulty Compulent以及各种教学的研究机会以及各种培训机会， UNC Charlotte和Forsyth技术社区学院以网络安全为重点的学生俱乐部。项目团队将专注于扩大网络防御培训，可用安全性和隐私以及网络分析方面的教育和研究。项目团队还将扩大物联网（IoT）和网络物理系统的活动，并扩大其评估功能。来自三个重点领域的课程材料和练习将广泛共享。共享材料将在其他机构的SFS支持项目和网络安全计划中扩大教师能力，以培训有关网络防御，可用安全性和网络分析的学生。项目评估材料还将为其他SFS站点提供改善其程序性努力的能力，使该国各地的学生受益。该项目得到了网络核心服务奖学金（SFS）计划的支持，该计划资助建立或持续的Cyber​​security计划与美国国家网络策略相稳定的Cyber​​secrity progrations conberity cyberity Cyber​​se cyberse cyberse corberse corberse corebersecerce工作。毕业后，奖学金获得者必须在与科学支持相同的持续时间内为联邦，州，地方或部落政府组织的网络安全工作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准的评估来评估。
