This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site award renews an exemplary REU site at Oakland University. Each summer, undergraduate students from across the nation will work on challenging research problems related to cybersecurity, an area of national priority for our nation. The site includes a strong research component combined with professional development opportunities for the participating undergraduate students. The team will continue to use successful strategies employed in past REU Sites to recruit undergraduate students from groups traditionally under-represented in computer science. A particular focus will be on recruiting women and students from institutions where there are limited research opportunities. The ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of a diverse scientific workforce with expertise in areas critical to national security in the evolving global society of the future.This project is led by an outstanding team offering research experiences in topics that are current and of national interest. Students will learn how to use tools and techniques to solve problems that are timely and of relevance to the field of computer science as well as to our nation. The students are immersed into a research environment with all of its facets: participating actively in shaping a research project and in defining the solution; communicating to peers and other audiences about the research and their findings; visiting research laboratories and attending scientific and technical presentations; and forming collegial relationships with research teams that include faculty, graduate students, and other scientific researchers. The resulting research is often presented at professional conferences and included in technical publications thus contributing to the body of research critical to sustaining secure and trustworthy cyberspace.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.

这项研究经历了本科生（REU）网站奖，续签了奥克兰大学的示例性REU网站。 每年夏天，来自全国各地的本科生都将致力于挑战与网络安全有关的研究问题，网络安全是我们国家的国家优先事项。该网站包括强大的研究组成部分，并为参与的本科生提供专业发展机会。 该团队将继续使用过去的REU站点中使用的成功策略来招募传统上代表计算机科学代表不足的团体的本科生。特别的重点将是从研究机会有限的机构招募妇女和学生。 最终的目标是为发展多样化的科学劳动力的发展做出贡献，其在未来不断发展的全球社会中对国家安全至关重要的领域的专业知识。该项目是由一个杰出的团队领导的，提供了当前和国家利益的主题研究经验。学生将学习如何使用工具和技术来解决与计算机科学领域以及与我们国家有关的及时且相关的问题。 学生将浸入其所有方面的研究环境中：积极参与研究项目并定义解决方案；与同龄人和其他受众进行有关研究及其发现的沟通；参观研究实验室并参加科学和技术演讲； 并与包括教职员工，研究生和其他科学研究人员在内的研究团队建立合作关系。 由此产生的研究通常在专业会议上进行，并包括在技术出版物中，因此有助于对维持安全和可信赖的网络空间至关重要的研究体系。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影响的审查标准来评估的值得通过评估的。
