Security, Privacy, and Trust in Cyberspace

The Security, Privacy, and Trust in Cyberspace (SaTC 2.0) program aims to build trust in global cyber ecosystems by supporting research and education in cybersecurity, privacy, and trust. The program spans the interests of NSF's Directorates for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS), Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE), and STEM Education (EDU). Proposals must be submitted pursuant to one of the following designations: Research (RES), Education (EDU), or Seedling (SEED). Each designation has different requirements and budget limits. • The RES designation is the focus of the multidisciplinary SaTC 2.0 research program, with a total budget limit of $1,200,000 and durations of up to four years. • The EDU designation is used to identify proposals focusing on education and workforce training in building trust in security, privacy, and resilience of cyberspace, with a total budget limit of $500,000 and durations of up to three years. • The SEED category is intended for special topics defined by accompanying Dear Colleague Letters, with a total budget limit of $300,000 and durations of up to two years.
