Review – NSF Publishes RFI for Cyber-Physical Resilience Research

Today, the National Science Foundation (NSF) published a request for information in the Federal Register (89 FR 78915-78916) for “Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Request for Information on a National Plan for Cyber-Physical Systems Resilience”. The notice reports that: “The goal of the plan is to shape a whole-of-government research and development (R&D) plan related to cyber-physical resilience across systems that may be local, regional, or national in scope.”

The proposed research plan would be based, at least in part, on the following documents:

• PCAST Releases Report on Strategy for Cyber-Physical Resilience,

• Strategy for Cyber-Physical Resilience: Fortifying Our Critical Infrastructure for a Digital World, and

• Cyber-Physical Systems Resilience—The Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program.

The NSF is soliciting comments that “address the topics of this RFI clearly and concisely”. Comments should be emailed to CPSR-ftacRFI@nitrd.gov. Comments should be submitted by October 26^th, 2024.
