Cybersecurity is a multi-faceted and complex problem that needs to be studied from different angles and requires the integration of multiple disciplines. This project seeks to continue and expand the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT). Using a transdisciplinary approach, the NMT SFS project will prepare scholars to become leaders in civil service in the field of cybersecurity. The proposed integration of theory, practice and principles from multiple disciplines reflects guidance from the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education Cybersecurity Workforce (NICE) Framework. SFS scholars will be well-prepared for success in the cybersecurity workforce as a result of the broad skillset obtained through this education and training program. This project will also work to increase the percentage of scholars from underrepresented minority (URM) groups. NMT is a Hispanic Serving Institution, primarily focusing on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Increasing the number of URM students involved in this project will result in an increase in the number of cybersecurity professionals who may serve as successful role models for URM groups. In addition, this project will continue collaborating with 2-year colleges to share cybersecurity curricula and mentor their applications to the Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE-CD) Associate program. The impact of this project will extend beyond the selected scholars as the cybersecurity courses and research will benefit all students interested in cybersecurity at NMT.NMT has been designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Research (CAE-R) by the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security since 2009. Four cohorts of undergraduate and graduate scholars will be added to NMT’s existing SFS program, which has a strong emphasis on providing a transdisciplinary cybersecurity education to scholars. The project will establish new transdisciplinary graduate (master’s and doctoral) degree programs and support scholars to obtain a professional cybersecurity certificate upon graduation. In addition, new cybersecurity courses will be developed across a wide variety of disciplines, such as Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Psychology, Business and Technology Management, and the humanities. Scholars will also benefit from research seminars and cybersecurity research opportunities with faculty and researchers from NMT, the National Security Agency, Idaho National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratories, Sandia National Laboratory, and other government agencies. These scholars and all NMT cybersecurity students will continue to positively impact the government agencies they will work for as they apply their expertise and leadership to improve our nation’s cybersecurity.This project is supported by the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program, which funds proposals establishing or continuing scholarship programs in cybersecurity and aligns with the U.S. National Cyber Strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce. Following graduation, scholarship recipients are required to work in cybersecurity for a federal, state, local, or tribal Government organization for the same duration as their scholarship support.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.

网络安全是一个多方面且复杂的问题，需要从不同的角度进行研究，并且需要整合多个学科。该项目旨在继续并扩大新墨西哥矿业技术研究所（NMT）的网络核心服务奖学金（SFS）计划。使用跨学科的方法，NMT SFS项目将准备学者成为网络安全领域的公务员领导者。多个学科的理论，实践和原则的拟议融合反映了国家网络安全教育倡议网络安全劳动力（NICE）框架的指导。由于通过此教育和培训计划获得的广泛技能，SFS学者将为网络安全劳动力的成功做好准备。该项目还将致力于增加代表性不足的少数民族（URM）群体的学者百分比。 NMT是西班牙裔服务机构，主要关注科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）。增加参与该项目的URM学生的数量将导致可以作为URM团体成功榜样的网络安全专业人员数量增加。此外，该项目将继续与两年学院合作，以分享网络安全课程，并在网络防御学术卓越（CAE-CD）助理计划中进行精神上的应用。该项目的影响将超出选定的学者，因为网络安全课程和研究将使NMT.NMT上网络安全感兴趣的所有学生受益于国家安全局和国土安全部的国家安全局和毕业生的四个群体计划。向学者提供跨学科的网络安全教育。该项目将建立新的跨学科研究生（硕士和博士学位）学位课程，并支持学者在毕业后获得专业的网络安全证书。此外，将开发新的网络安全课程，例如计算机科学，电气工程，心理学，商业和技术管理以及人类。学者们还将与NMT，国家安全局，爱达荷州国家实验室，洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室，桑迪亚国家实验室，桑迪亚国家实验室和其他政府机构的教师，国家安全局，爱达荷州国家实验室和其他政府机构一起受益。 These scholars and all NMT cybersecurity students will continue to positively impact the government agencies they will work for as they apply their expertise and leadership to improve our nation’s cybersecurity.This project is supported by the Cyber​​Corps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program, which funds proposals establishing or continuing science programs in cybersecurity and aligns with the U.S. National Cyber​​ ​​Strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce.毕业后，科学接受者必须在联邦，州，地方或部落政府组织的网络安全工作中工作与科学支持相同的持续时间。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估而被视为珍贵的。
