Overview
A grant to the National Security Institute at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School will support a fellowship program for a diverse group of technologists who are interested in actively engaging in national security and cyber policymaking, but who lack the policy knowledge and skill set to do so effectively. It will also support a media engagement and education program to bring together technologists, national security and cyber experts, and media representatives to increase tech literacy among those reporting on technology, cyber, and national security policy.
