Submission Window Date(s): December 06, 2017 - December 13, 2017
Cybersecurity Education (EDU) Designation
On occasion, the results of SaTC-funded research lead to widespread changes in our understanding of the fundamentals of cybersecurity that can, in turn, lead to fundamentally new ways to motivate and educate students about cybersecurity. Proposals submitted to this designation leverage successful results from previous and current basic research in cybersecurity and research on student learning, both in terms of intellectual merit and broader impacts, to address the challenge of expanding existing educational opportunities and resources in cybersecurity. This might include but is not limited to the following efforts:
- Based on the results of previous and current basic research in cybersecurity, define a cybersecurity body of knowledge and establish curricular recommendations for new courses (both traditional and online), degree programs, and educational pathways leading to wide adoption nationally;
- Evaluate the effects of these curricula on student learning;
- Encourage the participation of a broad and diverse population in Cybersecurity Education;
- Develop virtual laboratories to promote collaboration and resource sharing in Cybersecurity Education;
- Develop partnerships between centers of research in cybersecurity and institutions of higher education that lead to improved models for the integration of research experiences into cybersecurity degree programs;
- Develop and evaluate the effectiveness of cybersecurity competitions, games, and other outreach and retention activities; and
- Conduct research that advances improvements in teaching and student learning in cybersecurity and, where possible, focuses on broadening participation.
Cybersecurity Education proposal budgets are limited to $300,000 and their durations are limited to two years.
Questions about Cybersecurity Education proposals should be addressed directly to SaTC Program Officer Victor Piotrowski (vpiotrow@nsf.gov) in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR).
