Cyber Security Transition to Practice Workshop #2: Creating a TTP Roadmap for Principal Investigators

In February 2015, NSF sponsored a workshop to bring together key stakeholders to provide insights on how to improve the TTP process. An important outcome of that workshop was a detailed list of measures that might serve to overcome barriers to the transfer to practice of NSFs funded cybersecurity research.

In light of these results, the time is right for a follow on workshop identifying specific success factors for PI’s as they consider how to address this opportunity in FY16 and following years. The goal of the second Cyber Security Transition to Practice workshop is to utilize the findings from the first TTP workshop, narrowing the focus to define technology transfer means by which NSF can expand documented, measurable impact of NSF funded cybersecurity research results in the near and mid-term. One important outcome of this workshop will be to develop “how to TTP” guides for PIs that leverages identified success factors and that will reduce the likelihood of repeating less effective TTP approaches.
