Announcing The Pitt Cyber Accelerator Grants Program
The University of Pittsburgh Institute for Cyber Law, Policy, and Security (Pitt Cyber) announces a new funding opportunity for Pitt researchers: the Pitt Cyber Accelerator Grants (PCAG) program. PCAG provides support for projects that aim to establish or reinforce Pitt and Pitt Cyber as places of distinction and excellence in “cyber” studies and practice.
Pitt Cyber Accelerator Grants provide initial funding for novel and innovative projects that advance Pitt Cyber’s mission: to bring the breadth of one of the world’s leading public research universities to bear on the critical questions of networks, data, and algorithms, with a focus on the ever-changing gaps among law, policy, and technology.
PCAG funding will advance projects that establish and extend key intellectual infrastructures, such as research and teaching in methods with broad application and utility across disciplines, and projects that bring together researchers, teachers, and/or students across fields of interest.
PCAG funding may be particularly useful in launching transdisciplinary projects that may later attract funding and sponsorship within the university, and/or from government, philanthropic, and industry partners.
The deadline for fall grants is May 15, 2018. Please apply here here.
