CIAG-Sponsored Research Projects

The CIAG Research team awards research grants to academic institutions to support research into topics important to critical infrastructure protection. Grants in the US$30,000 to $50,000 range are typically awarded for accepted proposals. However, larger grants may be available for longer-term projects. Proposals may also be submitted to the Cisco University Research Program, which awards a larger number of grants and has a broader scope of interest than CIAG.

Below is a list of projects CIAG Research has sponsored in the past or is currently sponsoring.
