21-3 Pilot/Feasibility Projects for
Agricultural Health (GPCAH)
The Great Plains Center for Agricultural
Health (GPCAH) is pleased to announce
a new round of applications for its small
grants program. Proposals can be from
two areas: Academic research pilot grant

21-11 NSF/Intel Partnership on CyberPhysical Systems Security and Privacy
(NSF)
The national and economic security of the
United States depends on the reliable
function of critical infrastructure. An
already-large and rapidly growing part of
this infrastructure is being advanced
through the integration of information and
communication technologies (ICT), leading to cyber-physical systems (CPS).
Advances in CPS will enable capability,
adaptability, scalability, and usability that
will far exceed the simple embedded systems of today. CPS technology will transform the way people interact with
engineered systems—just as the Internet
has transformed the way people interact
with information. New smart CPS will
drive innovation and competition in sectors such as food and agriculture, energy,
different modes of transportation including air and automobiles, building design
and automation, healthcare and medical
implants, and advanced manufacturing.
Cyber-physical systems are subject to
threats stemming from increasing reliance
on computer and communication technologies. The goal of this partnership
between NSF and Intel is to foster novel,
transformative, multidisciplinary
approaches that ensure the security of current and emerging cyber-physical systems, taking into consideration the unique
challenges present in this environment
relative to other domains with cybersecurity concerns. NSF 14-571 (GG 5/30/14)
