One #infosec example of the very many NSF funding awards being revoked:
"Hudson County Community College (HCCC) was awarded a $599,811 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for its program, “Nurturing Resilience: Empowering the Next Generation of Cybersecurity Professionals with a Focus on Women.” The program goals are to recruit and retain more women in the HCCC Cybersecurity Prog…

Hudson County Community College Receives $600,000 National Science Foundation Grant to Expand Its Nationally Acclaimed Cybersecurity Program
The explosive demand for Cybersecurity is outpacing the supply of computer science professionals who assess threats and prevent attacks. Educational institutions, healthcare organizations, government, businesses, and individuals are increasingly vulnerable to evolving hazards including phishing, spoofing, malware, ransomware, and viruses.

Modeling of silver transport in cubic SiC: Integrating molecular dynamics, bounds averaging, and uncertainty quantification
Silver released from TRISO fuel particles can migrate through the SiC layer and deposit on reactor components, posing radiation hazards and operational challenges. Despite numerous proposed mechanisms, the precise pathway of silver transport through intact 3C-SiC remains unresolved. We present a physics-informed model for estimating the effective diffusivity of silver in polycrystalline 3C-SiC. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations yield diffusivities for {Σ3} and {Σ9} grain boundaries (GBs), w…

Behaviorally Adaptive Multi-Robot Hazard Localization in Failure-Prone, Communication-Denied Environments
We address the challenge of multi-robot autonomous hazard mapping in high-risk, failure-prone, communication-denied environments such as post-disaster zones, underground mines, caves, and planetary surfaces. In these missions, robots must explore and map hazards while minimizing the risk of failure due to environmental threats or hardware limitations. We introduce a behavior-adaptive, information-theoretic planning framework for multi-robot teams grounded in the concept of Behavioral Entropy (B…

Geo-Disasters: geocoding climate-related events in the international disaster database EM-DAT
Climate hazards can escalate into humanitarian disasters. Understanding their trajectories -- considering hazard intensity, human exposure, and societal vulnerability -- is essential for effective anticipatory action. The International Disaster Database (EM-DAT) is the only freely available global resource of humanitarian disaster records. However, it lacks exact geospatial information, limiting its use for climate hazard impact research. Here, we provide geocoding of 9,217 climate-related disa…
