Limited Submissions

UPDATE: On 2/28/2024, the funding agency rescinded this opportunity through email with the UW point of contact. No proposals will be accepted and no re-release is expected.

UW is designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) and known as National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense, Research, and/or National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations (hereinafter referred to as NCAE-Cs).

The National Security Agency / NCAE-C Program Office is soliciting proposals on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) University Consortium for Cybersecurity (UC2). UC2 invites the community to provide responses in the format of research proposals for innovative and actionable approaches related to the following three topics: "Modeling and Predictive Analytics,” "Persona and Influence,” and "Data and Permeability.” See section 2.4 of the solicitation pdf for details.

UW has the opportunity to submit two proposals as coalition lead or coalition partner, as we hold two designations (CAE-R and CAE-CD). For the purposes of this proposal, a coalition is a group of two to five academic institutions organized under the leadership of one NCAE-C designated institution for the purposes of accomplishing a solicited initiative. The lead institution will make sub-awards to other coalition members and manage the research program. UW’s NCAE-C point of contact, Prof. Marc Dupuis (marcjd@uw.edu) must be included either directly or indirectly with the proposed project. This grant can only support US citizens or permanent residents, and no foreign travel is allowed.
