The Institute for Cyber Law, Policy, and Security is seeking applications from Pitt researchers for Pitt Cyber Accelerator Grants.

The 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.

The Pitt Cyber Accelerator Grants, which range from $1,000 to $20,000, 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. The 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 this academic year’s grants is Sept. 18, 2023. More information and a link to the application can be found here.
