The first institution partner is California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB), which landed a separate $10.5 million grant from the National Security Agency in 2020 for cybersecurity workforce development. The first CHIRP cohort will support four CSUSB cybersecurity students. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students who participate in CHIRP will spend a week at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) conducting realistic cyber experiments in facilities such as PNNL\u2019s Cybersecurity Operations Center.
