The Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) mission is to strengthen the security and resilience of the U.S. energy sector from cyber, physical, and climate-based risks and disruptions. A dedicated initiative aligned with the CESER mission is the University-Based R&D program to collaboratively engage in research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) activities to help reduce the risk that a cyberattack might disrupt our nation’s critical energy delivery infrastructure. CESER dedicates a portion of its cybersecurity R&D efforts to this program, where awards are selected through competitive announcements. This open NOFO is designed to incorporate and use this funding vehicle for the CESER University-Based R&D program, allowing for ongoing participation and evaluation.
