From: Peter Muhlberger <pmuhl1848@gmail.com> I would like to invite you to learn more about NSF's Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) grants program. SaTC provides grants for research that a) makes theoretical and methodological contributions to the SBE sciences and b) helps promote a secure and trustworthy cyberspace. Cybersecurity is a pressing national need for which there are, as of 2012, new research resources in the Social, Behavioral, and Economic (SBE) sciences directorate and which tap resources in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) directorate. In the past year, the SBE / SaTC program has, with co-funding from CISE, provided over $15 million (over $6 million to small and medium-sized projects) in funding for people in a range of social sciences, including economics, psychology, sociology, political science, communication research, science of organization, and criminology. SaTC researchers can focus exclusively on social science matters related to cybersecurity or can work with computer scientists. For instance, a purely social science topic of interest is international norms with respect to cybersecurity / cyberwarfare. For those interested in working with computer scientists, the SaTC program is holding a number of events to help social and computer scientists discover mutually advantageous collaborations. If you are interested in exploring the possibility of this line of research, please feel free to look at the SaTC solicitation, participate in the upcoming online cyber cafe in which CISE and SBE scientists will discuss potential SaTC research, consider coming to the SaTC PI meeting (even as a non-PI), and / or sign up for the SBE / SaTC mailing list: SaTC solicitation: http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?WT.z_pims_id=504709&ods_key=nsf12596 Cyber Cafe: 11:30-5:30 EDT, Fri. Nov. 2, 2012.

This will be a major event with hundreds of participants. Learn more: http://cps-vo.org/group/satc Register: Use the above site for conference and hotel reservation links. Use the case-sensitive registration code SaTC2012SBE when asked.
