Cyber Funding (1999-2016)

“Long ago, UTSA recognized the critical role of cybersecurity. We knew the need for highly trained professionals was only going to grow larger. We offered our first cybersecurity course in 1999, and we’ve been building the program ever since. That vision positioned us to become the nation’s leader in cybersecurity research and education.” ~ President Romo (excerpt from his Final State of the University Address)

As a result, helping faculty apply and secure federal awards to not only build our cyber programs, but also expand our research endeavors, has been a priority for UTSA’s Research office.  In the past five years, UTSA has been awarded $46,414,618 in federal National Security related funding. Below you will find a diverse list of federal agencies represented. The projects demonstrate how extensive and prolific our National Security portfolio truly is.
