These programs are to enhance universities' capabilities to perform science and engineering research and related education in science and engineering areas critical to national defense. This program will provide grants to institutions of higher education to allow them to increase the number of postdoctoral and faculty scientists and engineers conducting high quality research in Critical Infrastructure Protection and Information Assurance by sponsoring mentor-based Fellows.The current research and development program addresses five primary thrust areas: Information Assurance, Threat/Vulnerability/Risk Assessments, System Protection, Intrusion Monitoring and Response, and Recovery and Reconstitution. DoD is seeking CIPIA Fellows proposals from academic Principal Investigators (PIs) who have a DoD-funded research award related to Information Assurance or Critical Infrastructure Protection. More details of this program including program purpose, eligibility, evaluation and selection, dates and awards can be found in the BAA. The BAA is accessible on the world wide web at http://www.afosr.af.mil under _Doing Business with AFOSR_, Research Opportunities. A registration site (http://www.afosr.af.mil/CIPIAF) has been created to provide a matching service between the potential principal investigators and the fellow candidates. This site is a public service for promoting the communications between the potential principal investigators and fellow candidates to develop CIPIAF research ofmutual interests. DoD and AFOSR are not responsible for the content. None of the data provided by the registrants will be used for the evaluation and selection of the Fellowship applications. The users can provide all information or only part of the information, if desired. See Note 26. Posted 08/24/00 (D-SN489493). (0237)
