This project aims to respond to the urgent need for well-prepared cybersecurity researchers and professionals in the nation by increasing the literacy, accessibility, and adoption of advanced cyberinfrastructure techniques, tools, and platforms in cybersecurity and cyber-related disciplines. The project team develops “T3-CIDERS”, a Train-the-Trainer program, which will train teams of faculty, researchers and graduate students across multiple states, who will subsequently disseminate knowledge and skills on advanced cyberinfrastructure to a broader group of students and researchers within their own institutions and to K-12 audiences, especially those within underrepresented communities. The training program reaches a wider audience through an interactive, open online learning environment, broadening the accessibility of computational and data science across various scientific and engineering disciplines. The T3-CIDERS program facilitates the preparation of current and future cybersecurity and cyber-related researchers, engineers, and practitioners with advanced cyberinfrastructure and data analytic skills, which have become increasingly important for developing secure and resilient digital infrastructure. Given its multi-level educational structure and ubiquitous societal needs for advanced cyberinfrastructure in cybersecurity, this project is expected to have significant and wide-ranging societal impacts, particularly in the areas of workforce development, innovative curriculum, and developing capabilities of supporting diverse and underrepresented groups.This collaborative project furnishes a unique Train-the-Trainer Approach to Fostering CyberInfrastructure- and Data-Enabled Research in CyberSecurity (T3-CIDERS), a program to train faculty, researchers, and students to develop solid CI competencies through a train-the-trainer program designed to be synergistic with research, teaching, and learning activities. The project develops comprehensive technical cyberinfrastructure (CI)-focused and pedagogical train-the-trainer (T3) modules designed for effective CI education of a broad and diverse range of learners. Leveraging the groundwork laid by the NSF-funded DeapSECURE program, this project will augment the existing DeapSECURE CI modules by developing new fundamental and application-oriented resources tailored for advancing cybersecurity research. A core component in this project is a novel T3 module, designed to cultivate cybersecurity researchers and professionals into skilled trainers, enhancing both their instructional design capabilities and technological aptitudes. This learner-focused approach aspires to foster a community of practice (CoP) and promote CI integration in cybersecurity research and education. Moreover, to extend the project's reach and longevity, an online adaptation, T3-Online, will be developed as an open educational resource to facilitate broadening project outcomes into other domains of science and engineering. The success of the project will drive interest and understanding of CI as essential tools in state-of-the-art cybersecurity research, flatten the student learning curve for CI technology and provide a national leadership in CI training for cybersecurity research.This award by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure is jointly supported by the Cybercorps Scholarship for Service, Directorate for STEM Education.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.

该项目旨在通过提高网络安全和网络相关学科的先进网络基础设施技术、工具和平台的素养、可及性和采用来满足国家对准备充分的网络安全研究人员和专业人员的迫切需求。 “T3-CIDERS”是一项培训师培训计划，该计划将培训多个州的教师、研究人员和研究生团队，随后他们将向其所在地区更广泛的学生和研究人员群体传播先进网络基础设施的知识和技能。该培训计划通过互动、开放的在线学习环境吸引了更广泛的受众，从而扩大了各个科学和工程学科的计算和数据科学的可及性。该计划有助于培养当前和未来的网络安全和网络相关的研究人员、工程师和从业人员，使其具备先进的网络基础设施和数据分析技能，鉴于其多层次的教育结构和无处不在的社会，这对于开发安全和有弹性的数字基础设施变得越来越重要。为了满足网络安全领域对先进网络基础设施的需求，该项目预计将产生重大而广泛的社会影响，特别是在劳动力发展、创新课程以及发展支持多元化和代表性不足群体的能力等领域。该合作项目提供了独特的培训-培养网络基础设施和数据支持的网络安全研究的培训师方法 (T3-CIDERS)，该计划旨在通过培训师培训来培训教师、研究人员和学生，培养扎实的 CI 能力该项目旨在与研究、教学和学习活动相协同，开发以技术网络基础设施 (CI) 为中心的综合技术培训师培训 (T3) 模块，旨在对广泛和多样化的学习者进行有效的 CI 教育。利用 NSF 资助的 DeapSECURE 计划奠定的基础，该项目将通过开发专为推进网络安全研究而定制的新基础和面向应用的资源来增强现有的 DeapSECURE CI 模块。新颖的 T3 模块，旨在将网络安全研究人员和专业人员培养成熟练的培训师，提高他们的教学设计能力和技术能力，这种以学习者为中心的方法旨在培养实践社区 (CoP) 并促进 CI 在网络安全研究和教育中的整合。此外，为了扩大该项目的影响范围和寿命，将开发在线改编版 T3-Online，作为开放教育资源，以促进将项目成果扩展到科学和工程的其他领域。该项目的成功将激发人们的兴趣和理解。 CI 必不可少先进网络基础设施办公室颁发的该奖项得到了 Cyber​​corps 服务奖学金的共同支持， STEM 教育理事会。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。
