Establishing Scholarship for Service Program at University of Hawaii at Manoa

该项目旨在在夏威夷大学马诺阿分校（UHM）建立一个新的CyberCorps®：服务奖学金（SFS）计划，为24名高素质的网络安全专业人员进入联邦、州、地方或部落政府做好准备。政府劳动力。该计划将以区域为重点，寻求从当地生态系统中吸引学生并将他们安置在当地工作，并将建立在UHM现有的强大网络安全研究和教育计划的基础上。目前，夏威夷州没有SFS计划，该州有大量政府和军事机构，严重缺乏网络安全专业人员。拟议的计划将为该州的学生提供多种职业道路。SFS团队将与所有10个UH校区，当地社区学院和K-12机构合作。UHM教师将继续与国家安全局（NSA）夏威夷，美国海岸警卫队，夏威夷国民警卫队和美国太平洋司令部（PACOM）通过活动，如UH网络安全教育峰会，NSA夏威夷教育博览会，和夏威夷GenCyber营地共同努力。该团队将与夏威夷原住民科学和工程导师计划（NHSEMP）和女工程师协会（SWE）合作，招募少数族裔和女学生。该项目将开发一个SFS社区，强调在UHM的整个学术经验，包括职业发展，研究咨询，以及就业安置的个人导师。SFS情况室将为SFS学者建立，以促进与教师和其他学生团体的互动，并组织各种学习活动。该计划将提供个人指导;与政府和行业合作，让学生参与安全研究，以获得实践经验;提供定制的学习计划;促进实习机会;并帮助制定学生的职业规划。自适应安全和经济学实验室将在各种网络安全研究和教育活动中将团队联系在一起。该中心和大学被指定为DHS/NSA网络防御研究学术卓越中心。UHM是一所研究型大学，支持许多关键主题的高级安全研究，包括：密码学，网络安全，隐私，大数据安全，物联网安全，移动的和无线安全，智能电网安全，云安全，计算机软件和网络安全以及硬件安全。UHM在本科和研究生阶段都有全面的网络安全课程，包括14个网络安全课程和两个以安全科学为重点的学士学位课程。学生们一直在参加国家和州一级的网络安全活动，包括大学网络防御竞赛（CCDC），国家海上网络安全演习，年度Pooihe网络防御演习，GenCyber和网络爱国者。该团队与美国国家安全局夏威夷、美国海岸警卫队、夏威夷国民警卫队和太平洋司令部等政府机构长期合作。该小组将建立一个专门的管理框架，并配备相关工具，以支持项目评价。

This project seeks to establish a new CyberCorps®: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) to prepare 24 highly-qualified cybersecurity professionals for entry into the federal, state, local, or tribal government workforce. The program will be regionally focused, seeking to draw students from the local ecosystem and place them in local jobs, and will be built on an existing, strong cybersecurity research and educational program at UHM. Currently, there is no SFS program in the state of Hawaii, a state with a large presence of government and military agencies, and a severe shortage of cybersecurity professionals. The proposed program will provide multiple career paths for students within the state. The SFS team will collaborate with all 10 UH campuses, local community colleges, and K-12 institutions. UHM faculty will continue joint efforts with the National Security Agency (NSA) Hawaii, the US Coast Guard, the Hawaii National Guard, and the US Pacific Command (PACOM) through activities such as the UH Cyber Security Education Summit, NSA Hawaii Education Fairs, and Hawaii GenCyber Camps. The team will work with the Native Hawaiian Science and Engineering Mentorship Program (NHSEMP) and Society of Women Engineers (SWE) to recruit minority and women students. The project will develop an SFS community that emphasizes individual mentorship across the entire academic experience at UHM, including career development, research advising, as well as the job placement. The SFS Situation Room will be set up for SFS scholars to stimulate interaction with faculty and other student groups, and to organize various learning activities. The proposed program will offer individual mentorship; involve students in security research in collaboration with government and industry to gain practical experience; provide customized study plans; facilitate internship opportunities; and help develop students' career plans.The Adaptive Security and Economics Laboratory serves to bond the team together in various cybersecurity research and educational activities. The center and the university are designated as a DHS/NSA Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Research. UHM is a Research I University and supports advanced security research on many critical topics including: cryptography, network security, privacy, big data security, IoT security, mobile and wireless security, smart grid security, cloud security, computer software and web security, and hardware security. UHM has a comprehensive cybersecurity curriculum at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including 14 cybersecurity courses and two bachelor's degree programs with a Security Science Focus. The students have been participating in national and state level cybersecurity activities, including the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC), National Maritime Cybersecurity Exercise, Annual Pooihe Cyber Defense exercise, GenCyber, and Cyber Patriot. The team has long term collaborations with government agencies such as NSA Hawaii, US Coast Guard, Hawaii National Guard and PACOM. The team will build a dedicated management framework with associated tools to support project evaluation.
