Dual Masters Program in Security Infomatics and Public Health Federal Cyber Service Scholarship for Service (Capacity Building Track)

目前由美国国家科学基金会在约翰霍普金斯大学信息安全研究所(JHUISI)支持的联邦网络服务服务奖学金计划正在培养信息和计算机安全专业人员，他们准备应对日益重要的公共卫生领域。目前所有JHUISI学生正在攻读安全信息学(MSSI)科学硕士学位，要求包括信息安全与保证(IS&A；A)课程和与健康相关的隐私、政策、法律和信息学课程。为了实现这一目标，总部设在怀廷工程学院(WSE)的JHUISI MSSI项目与JHU彭博公共卫生学院(BSPH)建立了合作关系。该项目正在扩展现有的能力，通过开发一个独特的两年制双硕士课程，让学生同时获得JHUISI提供的MSSI学位和BSPH提供的健康科学硕士(MHS)学位，以提供准备好应对未来信息安全和保障的公共卫生应用的专业人员。智力优点：MSSI/MHS双硕士课程整合了WSE和约翰霍普金斯大学BSPH两种不同学术文化的课程(包括新的和现有的)、实验室、研究项目和实习机会，以培养出经过培训的人才，以满足公共卫生领域对信息保障专业人员的需求。通过提供以消费者为中心和信息丰富的保健服务的任务，这项活动的相关性和重要性在公共卫生基础设施的最高一级得到反复强调。需要经过适当培训的人员在公共卫生联邦机构中扮演关键角色，以实现这一目标。广泛的影响：将IS&A；A技术应用于公共卫生问题尚处于初级阶段，类似于几十年前生物医学应用的情况。潜在的挑战源于信息技术与隐私、政策和法律的必要融合。MSSI/MHS双硕士项目正在为解决这一与健康相关的教育和研究的重要方向制定蓝图。

The Federal Cyber Service Scholarship for Service Scholarship Program currently supported by NSF at the Johns Hopkins University Information Security Institute (JHUISI) is developing information and computer security professionals who are prepared to address the increasingly critical field of public health. All JHUISI students currently supported by the NSF SFS cohort program are pursuing a Master of Science in Security Informatics (MSSI) degree with requirements which include information security and assurance (IS&A) courses and courses in health-related privacy, policy, law, and informatics. To accomplish this, the JHUISI MSSI program based in the Whiting School of Engineering (WSE) has developed collaborations with the JHU Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH). This project is expanding current capabilities for providing professionals prepared to address the future public health applications of information security and assurance by developing a unique two-year dual masters program in which students are earning both the MSSI degree offered by JHUISI and the Master of Health Sciences (MHS) degree offered by BSPH.Intellectual Merit: The dual MSSI/MHS masters program is integrating courses (both new and existing), labs, research projects, and internships from the two different academic cultures within the WSE and the BSPH at Johns Hopkins to produce individuals trained to meet the demand for information assurance professionals in public health. The relevance and importance of this activity is being repeatedly underscored at the highest levels of the public health infrastructure by mandates to deliver consumer- centric and information-rich health care. The need for individuals appropriately trained to play key roles within public health federal agencies to achieve this goal is acute.Broader Impact: The application of IS&A technologies to public health issues is in its infancy, analogous to where biomedical applications stood decades ago. The underlying challenges result from the necessary mergers of information technology with privacy, policy, and law. The dual MSSI/MHS masters program is creating a blueprint for addressing this important direction for health related information IS&A education and research.
