The National CyberWatch Center Research efforts focus on promoting, sponsoring, and conducting research on cybersecurity education and workforce development.

Promote

  1. Encourage the development of evidence-based cybersecurity education and workforce development strategies
  2. Disseminate the results of National CyberWatch-conducted and sponsored research to inform practice
  3. Act as a clearinghouse for non-National CyberWatch conducted and sponsored research
  4. Support the development of independent, objective, sustainable, and scalable models

Sponsor

  1. Provide support (financial and other sources, access to data) to National CyberWatch stakeholders who are conducting cybersecurity education and workforce development research
  2. Sponsor research that is conducted by a non-National CyberWatch-researcher(s), but is co-branded because of the tangible support National CyberWatch provides

Conduct

  1. Evidence-based research that critically examines cybersecurity education and workforce development practices
