Cyber-Security and Privacy Research for U.S. Government Agencies

Abstract: Panelists will discuss their agencies’ goals for and approaches to cybersecurity and privacy research. The panelists will also compare NSF-style research to research in their agencies. Examples of types of questions that the panel may address include: What’s the difference in the types of research a researcher is expected to do for the different agencies?  What can graduate students and faculty learn from mission-focused research beyond what one learns from curiosity-driven NSF research?  What are the elements that lead to a successful proposal?
