Cyber Florida provides significant support to USF faculty in pursuit of grant-funded research
Cyber Florida at USF is enabling support mechanisms to fuel cutting-edge applied cybersecurity-related research led by at least one University of South Florida faculty member as Principal Investigator (PI). We are particularly interested in enabling the submission of (successful) proposals that are (a) collaborative and large-scale (> $2M Total) and (b) CAREER and YIP proposals from junior faculty.
Interested investigators are requested to contact Dr. Sriram Chellappan, executive director of Cyber Florida, to discuss support steps via email at sriramc@cyberflorida.org. While support is flexible and contingent on proposal needs, broad areas of identified support include
Funding grant writers to work on proposal preparation;
Funding to get proposals peer-reviewed by established experts in the field;
Travel support for face-to-face meetings toward team building and project planning;
Travel support to visit federal funding agencies and program managers; and
Hiring external mentors to work with junior faculty for CAREER and YIP proposal development.
Other forms of support will also be considered based on proposal needs.
At Cyber Florida, we are working to make Florida the premier state for academic research in cybersecurity and related areas. Let us work together!
