Homeland Security Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (HS-STEM) Career Development Grants DHS-09-ST-104-001
Internal Competition Completed
Principal Investigators Selected:
- Shantanu Dutt, Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Jon Solworth, Computer Science
- Jack Zwanziger, Health Policy & Administration
Program Summary
The CDG program enables colleges and universities with existing or proposed programs in homeland security-related science, technology, engineering or mathematics to award undergraduate scholarships and/or graduate fellowships to qualified students who intend to pursue homeland security scientific and engineering careers. DHS S&T invites applications to this program from colleges and universities with bona fide HS-STEM curricula. Note: Bona fide HS-STEM curricula are homeland security specific programs of study or concentrations within existing science, mathematics or engineering programs. These curricula may lead to majors, minors, certificates, or recognized concentrations in homeland security specific areas of science and engineering. DHS will only support the homeland security programs that are based on existing accredited science, mathematics or engineering curricula. An individual institution can receive a maximum of $200,000 for four year colleges to fund multiple scholarships for two years and maximum of $500,000 for graduate fellowships to fund multiple scholarships for three years.
UIC is restricted to one application PER DEPARTMENT.
