The **Security, Privacy, and Trust in Cyberspace (SaTC 2.0)** program supports research, education, and workforce development efforts aimed at building trust in the global cyber ecosystem. Trust is defined broadly to include confidence in the security, privacy, and resilience of cyberspace, particularly against malicious threats. This initiative acknowledges the increasing interconnectedness of cyberspace with critical aspects of daily life, such as healthcare, infrastructure, government, and commerce, and addresses the growing risks posed by cyber threats.

The program spans multiple disciplines, integrating perspectives from **computer science, mathematics, social sciences, and STEM education**. Proposals must align with one of three categories:

- **Research (RES)**: Supports **multidisciplinary research** projects with budgets up to **$1.2 million** over a four-year period. Larger proposals (**above $600,000**) require plans for broadening participation in computing and collaboration. An optional **Transition to Education (TTE) plan** of up to **$50,000** may be included to link research with educational initiatives. - **Education (EDU)**: Focuses on **cybersecurity education and workforce training** with a budget cap of **$500,000** over three years. Projects that emphasize **education research with collaboration** between cybersecurity experts and education researchers can request an additional **$100,000**. - **Seedling (SEED)**: Funds **special topics** outlined in accompanying Dear Colleague Letters, with a budget limit of **$300,000** over two years.

### Eligibility: **Who can apply?** - **Non-profit, non-academic organizations** (e.g., research labs, museums) associated with education/research. - **Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs)** (two- and four-year colleges/universities in the U.S.). - **International branches of U.S. universities** can participate if they provide a compelling justification for conducting research abroad.

**Who can serve as PI?** - Individuals must hold a **tenure-track or full-time research/teaching position** at an eligible U.S.-based institution. - Those at **for-profit organizations or international university branches** are **not eligible**.

This program aims to **improve cybersecurity resilience**, address evolving cyber threats, and strengthen public trust in digital systems through **cutting-edge research, education, and policy advancements**.
