Implications of the Cyber Security Research and Development Act
May 12, 2004
The Cyber Security Research and Development Act was signed into law
on November 27, 2002 (P.L. 107-305, codified as 15 United States Code Annotated
7401-7411). To ensure compliance with the requirements of the Act, in FY'04 NSF
will add special language to CISE and EHR awards focused on research and
education activities that seek to protect cyber systems from malicious attack.
Consequently, NSF will include such language in all new awards made in the
Cyber Trust and Scholarships for Service programmatic areas. To comply with
section 16 of the Cyber Security Research and Development Act (15 U.S.C.A.
7410), grantees must ensure that no grant funds go to any individual who is in
violation of the terms of his or her status as a nonimmigrant or any alien from
a country determined by the Secretary of State to be a state sponsor of
international terrorism unless that individual has a visa permitting him or her
to enter and remain in the United States. Grantees must immediately notify NSF
if their ability to receive nonimmigrant students or exchange visitor program
participants has been suspended or terminated. Questions concerning the award
language should be addressed to the NSF Policy Office at (www.policy@nsf.gov)
by an institutional representative.
