All: Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC)
- Sponsor: National Science Foundation
- Funding Opportunity Title: Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC)
- Key words: Internet Privacy, Privacy Education and Protection, Security
- Link to RFP: https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?WT.z_pims_id=504709&ods_key=nsf22517
- Deadline: Proposals Accepted Anytime
- Funding available: Small projects: up to $600,000 in total budget, with durations of up to three years; and Medium projects: $600,001 to $1,200,000 in total budget, with durations of up to four years.
- Period of performance: Three years for Small and 4 years for Medium
- Program Background: In today’s increasingly networked, distributed, and asynchronous world, cybersecurity involves hardware, software, networks, data, people, and integration with the physical world. Society’s overwhelming reliance on this complex cyberspace, however, has exposed its fragility and vulnerabilities that defy existing cyber-defense measures; corporations, agencies, national infrastructure, and individuals continue to suffer cyber-attacks. Achieving a truly secure cyberspace requires addressing both challenging scientific and engineering problems involving many components of a system, and vulnerabilities that stem from human behaviors and choices. Examining the fundamentals of security and privacy as a multidisciplinary subject can lead to fundamentally new ways to design, build, and operate cyber systems; protect existing infrastructure; and motivate and educate individuals about cybersecurity..
- Program Objectives: The RDSP identified six areas critical to successful cybersecurity research and development: (1) scientific foundations; (2) risk management; (3) human aspects; (4) transitioning successful research into practice; (5) workforce development; and (6) enhancing the research infrastructure.
