This renewal continues the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) project at Georgetown University. The funding will support approximately 33 students who work in technology or policy or at the intersection of the two areas. Students will be drawn from various degree programs at Georgetown, including Computer Science, Security Students, and Cybersecurity Risk Management. The project aims to recruit students who would otherwise work in the private sector into Federal government positions that require a high level of analytical thinking and decision making. These roles are essential for oversight, research, analysis, and planning. The project team will continue to build off prior success in attracting students to government service who are from groups that are underrepresented in the cybersecurity field. For example, more than half of the student cohorts to date have been female. In addition, the principal investigators have attracted applications from high school students who are members of groups whose participation in the field lags behind their proportion in the overall population, by developing and offering a STEM track for students in Georgetown’s Summer College Immersion Program (SCIP) and funding participant support. SCIP is a three-week college preparation program designed for rising high school seniors from the Cristo Rey Network and KIPP Foundation school systems which predominately serve underprivileged communities.Students complement their high-quality education with applied experiences in the Washington DC area in the Georgetown SFS project. Students participate in internships at government agencies and meet with cybersecurity and governmental leaders at local events. The project's activities also include significant peer-mentoring, helping to form cross-agency professional networks. Students benefit from working with faculty who have expertise in cybersecurity that spans deep technical areas ranging from artificial intelligence to legal and policy issues surrounding cyber operations and personal privacy. The project also expands awareness of governmental positions for all Georgetown students by working with the Cawley Career Center to bring in governmental speakers and recruiters. These combined efforts will help create a generation of policymakers and managers who can help develop and expand the nation’s cybersecurity challenges by educating cross-disciplinary cybersecurity leaders.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.

此次续签延续了乔治城大学的 Cyber​​Corps® 服务奖学金 (SFS) 项目，该资金将支持大约 33 名从事技术或政策或这两个领域交叉领域工作的学生。该项目旨在招募原本在私营部门工作的学生担任需要高水平分析思维和决策的联邦政府职位。这些职位对于监督和研究至关重要。 、分析和计划。将继续在吸引来自网络安全领域代表性不足的群体的学生加入政府服务方面继续取得成功。例如，迄今为止，超过一半的学生群体是女性。此外，主要研究人员还吸引了申请。通过为乔治城大学暑期大学浸入式项目 (SCIP) 的学生开发和提供 STEM 课程，以及参与 SCIP 的三项资助，针对参与该领域的群体落后于总人口比例的高中生进行培训。周大学专为 Cristo Rey Network 和 KIPP 基金会学校系统的高中毕业生设计的预备计划，这些系统主要服务于贫困社区。学生通过乔治敦 SFS 项目在华盛顿特区的应用经验来补充他们的高质量教育。该项目的活动还包括重要的同行指导，帮助学生建立跨机构的专业网络，并与拥有网络安全专业知识的教师合作。该项目还通过与考利职业中心合作引入政府发言人和招聘人员，扩大了所有乔治敦大学学生对政府职位的认识，包括人工智能、网络运营和个人隐私等法律和政策问题。帮助培养一代决策者和管理者，他们可以通过教育跨学科的网络安全领导者来帮助发展和扩大国家的网络安全挑战。该项目得到 Cyber​​Corps® 服务奖学金 (SFS) 计划的支持，该计划为建立或继续奖学金计划的提案提供资金在网络安全和符合美国国家网络战略，培养优秀的网络安全劳动力，奖学金获得者毕业后必须在联邦、州、地方或部落政府组织从事网络安全工作，期限与奖学金支持的期限相同。该奖项。反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
