Vermont Business Magazine Norwich University has been designated the lead institution of the nation’s Senior Military Colleges in creating a Department of Defense Cyber Institute program through a recently awarded two-year, $19.5 million grant.
The six schools, Norwich University, Virginia Military Institute, The Citadel, Virginia Tech, University of North Georgia, and Texas A&M, will create a pipeline of qualified cyber professionals in various critical work roles.
As the lead institution, Norwich University will execute $4 million over the two years, creating a program office to manage the development of a joint integrated program enabling the development of academic, experiential (internal/external), and educational infrastructure leading to a talent pipeline for potential military and civilian DoD cyber workforce.

The $1.12 million award given to Norwich University Applied Research Institutes will include funding for remote monitoring and cybersecurity with oversight from the Army Corps of Engineer’s Cold Regions Research & Engineering Laboratory.
“The importance of having a reliable energy grid in cold weather is something that every Vermonter understands,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT). “With this project, Vermont is again at the front of designing and developing microgrids that can be relied on in cold weather conditions, in the face of the forces of nature and malicious human attackers, and will teach this to the next generation of students.”

For Arctic Microgrids and Energy Resilience education
Vermont Business Magazine Norwich University Applied Research Institutes (NUARI) announced today that it has successfully secured two contracts received under the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Broad Agency Announcement process totaling $1.12 million.
Regarding the Arctic Microgrid program, worth $625K, work in this initial effort will identify the necessary requirements to characterize, design, simulate and develop plans to prototype and test the cold regions microgrids. These systems will be built upon an open architecture to allow modular construction and operation in response to location and operational issues. Consideration for remote monitoring and operations and cybersecurity constraints will be integrated into the program with oversight from the ERDC Cold Regions Research & Engineering Laboratory (CRREL).
