The Trusted CI Fellowship Program

The vision for the Trusted CI Fellowship program is to empower members of the scientific community with foundational cybersecurity knowledge and an understanding of Trusted CI’s services. Fellows serve as cybersecurity liaisons within their respective communities, establishing a diverse network across geographies and scientific disciplines.

In this program, you will gain access to specialized training and professional development resources. In exchange, you will champion cybersecurity for science within your field and communicate challenges and successful practices back to Trusted CI.

We have successfully supported 55 Fellows from a wide range of expertise, including:

• Research Project Managers & Research Scientists
